NLISN Online Coffee Catch Ups
These Coffee Catch Ups will run every month and are an opportunity for you to meet with other members of the network online in an informal space with no agendas/CPD/set topics, but instead to create a space where we can get to know each other and have informal and supportive discussions. We have tried to vary the days and times each month as we know everyone’s availability will change depending on role, sector, and individual working pattern.
Based on feedback after running the sessions for a year, these catch ups will now be self-facilitated by whichever members of the network attend, rather than a member of the committee. However if you do feel we need to go back to committee member facilitators please do let us know, and you are also free to reach out if you have other questions or concerns.
The meetings are not recorded and we also ask that you do not make personal recordings or save transcriptions of the meetings due to the personal topics covered. The use of live captioning/transcription tools are fine and there is inbuilt live captioning in Teams itself, but please do not use tools like otter.ai which save transcripts or send tools like that to the meetings on your behalf. It is important that these coffee catch ups are a space for network members to speak openly without being recorded or captured. If you notice an AI tool in the participant list please remove it, anyone attending should have the permissions to do so.
Please feel free to accept the Team meeting invitations even if you are not sure you will be able to attend to ensure they are in your calendar. Individual attendance beyond total number of people will not be monitored at all, so accepting them does not mean you are obliged to attend.
