Upon request, your Zoom video or similar on-camera option will be enabled to allow you to be visible to the Board members and other meeting participants while presenting oral testimony.  Please turn off your camera after you conclude your testimony.  It is the individual testifier’s responsibility to ensure they have the video and internet capabilities to successfully stream or remotely testify.  The Board maintains the authority to remove and block individuals who willfully disrupt or compromise the conduct of the meeting.
