To promote sustainability and efficiency, VMS has adopted electronic meeting agenda packets for in-person board meetings. Be sure to bring your phone to the next meeting and locate the QR code near the coffee area to effortlessly access the agenda. Follow these steps:

• Open up the camera app on your device
• Aim your device toward the QR code
• Click the link

This eco-friendly shift eliminates the need for hundreds of reams of paper annually, as many printed packets go unused or are promptly discarded after meetings. This transition is estimated to mean up to $25,130 in savings per year.
