Hi Sara, thanks for this. I think chairing our meetings is quite a complex job, & one of the reasons I haven't volunteered yet :)  It's complex because its a big group, still going through the 'storming'* phase of its group-development, & as chair you need to be facilitating, keeping the guidelines/rules, noticing the cards & the order they're displayed in - which is all quite complex! I know I would feel more confident if there was a one page summary of the chair's role for running a Toiora Group Meeting that I could refer to. I wonder if this is something the Communications Group could work on among their other tasks? ngā mihi Kristin * for more on Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing - see https://www.tutorialspoint.com/individual_and_group_behavior/five_stage_mode...

Could somebody else please volunteer to chair on Thursday please? I don't have great chairing skill at the best of times and find Zoom meetings very difficult so for everyone's sales would appreciate someone else stepping up. Best, Gay
