I am sure they had the paid version - unless Zoom has done something different during COVID. I haven’t used the free version in a while so my info may be wrong. I just remember when we first tried it we would in the middle of a meet and at 45 on the button it was over.
You are probably right. I just checked the email announcement and the meeting was scheduled for 1:30 and only went an hour.
There is a followup meeting being scheduled for the very near future to discuss local candidate endorsements. Oregon's primary, which is a mail in vote, is on May 19th. The ballots haven't gone out yet but the voters pamphlet has.
I chair the board for a non-profit. We met a week ago via conference call to discuss endorsements. Pretty sure contributions have already gone out. Because of the pandemic, candidate campaigning is all messed up. Ballot measures have been pushed back to a future date, perhaps a special election. Primaries all across the country may not bring out voters in great numbers.
