Teleconferencing Services
Available to members and the public
What is videoconferencing?
Videoconferencing, also known as teleconferencing, facilitates live,
face-to-face communication. You will be connected to persons at one or more remote locations via special telephone lines and communicate easily through the use of a television
monitor and highly sensitive microphone system. This state-of-the-art technology allows crisp, clear audio and video and an
opportunity to conduct business as if both parties were in the same room.Why use videoconferencing?
Videoconferencing cuts costs while adding convenience. Out-of-town business, such as depositions, can be held without the expense and
inconvenience of travel, overnight accommodations and time out of the office. What are some of the common uses of videoconferencing?
Depositions, employment interviews, seminars, training sessions, sales promotions to groups - the list of possibilities is endless. How do I schedule its use?
