Iowa Yearly Meeting Conservative is being hosted on Zoom, which allows participants to join with video and audio (requires internet access with a webcam and microphone) or by phone (audio-only).
The links to the IYMC will not be posted in advance. The links will be sent to those who register: We ask that after registration, you do not post the on your websites or Facebook pages and do not publish them in newsletters.
The sessions will be recorded and available for a limited time after Iowa Yearly Meeting.
Zoom
What is Zoom? Zoom is a cloud-based video conferencing service you can use to virtually meet with others in real time – either by video and audio, or audio only. Accessible through your computer, tablet or smart phone, you can also dial into a meeting using your cell phone or landline for audio only. A basic account is free and you don’t need to sign up for anything to join a meeting. Zoom has many advanced features, but to join a meeting you do not need an account. You just need a computer or phone and the meeting ID number/dial in number, which will be provided to you.
If you haven’t used Zoom before or don’t feel confident on it, we will be offering support in the form of links to tutorials, and if requested, individual assistance and practice sessions.
As you may be aware, there have been some issues with Zoom meetings being hacked, pranked or harassed , through acts of “Zoombombing.” Zoom has been addressing these security concerns, and it appears that, as a result, the incidents of this are declining. For this reason, we will not publish the link to the meeting in advance. We will send the links to those who register and ask that those who register do not share or post the links.
We will also continue to monitor the situation and endeavor to use best practices to limit the potential for problems.

Please Support Yearly Meeting If You Are Able
So that all may attend and participate, no fees have been established. We recognize that these are uncertain times, but if you are able to support Iowa Yearly Meeting Conservative, it will be much appreciated. There are costs to doing even a virtual gathering. And much of each year’s contributions go to support Scattergood, which is as important as ever during the pandemic. We currently don’t have online donation set up, but if you wish to contribute, checks may be sent to: Jim Cottingham at
