Annual Meeting sessions are offered as a livestream via OneRoom Streaming. Participants should open the link provided by OneRoom prior to the meeting to ensure they have the latest updates installed. All livestream participants that registered in the OneRoom portal will receive an email from Selected about two days before the meeting with the access information, so it is critical to provide the correct email address(es) during registration. -

(either at the in-person meeting or on the virtual livestream)?
