Hello GABB Members and prospective members.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Crisis, the GABB will hold our first Virtual Meeting next Tuesday March 31, 2020 from 10 a.m. to noon. We want to encourage everyone to attend this meeting via Zoom.us.

Thomas Rockwood, Vice President of SBA Lending at Atlantic Capital Bank, is providing Virtual Coffee and Donuts!

You will have to create a free Zoom account and download some Zoom software.

If you have not used Zoom.us virtual meeting we would like to invite you to practice logging in with us. We are doing this to speed up the process of 100 people trying to figure out how to use the system at the time of our meeting.

We can discuss how we are all coping with this worldwide crisis while we are figuring out how to use Zoom.

Please join us at one of three practice meetings:

These will be short test meetings mainly to help people learn how to turn on their video and audio and make the best use of the system, but also to check in with one another and share what we’re going through. Please do your best to join us at one of these learning meetings.

The GABB board of directors had our first virtual board meeting Monday March 23, it took a little time for us all to understand using our cameras, microphones, and speakers. But if our past president Mike Ramatowski can figure this out (and he did), then we ALL can do this. So we recommend that you join us if you are unfamiliar with this technology.
