We thought about holding meetings via video conferencing, but many of us worked out of home offices and we did not have the video cameras and software, much less the more powerful computers needed There is another big difference - you were being paid and if you wanted to keep your job you read all those reports before the conference call, etc. We are all volunteers and many times reports are not sent out in time or are not read before the meeting.
