Electronic During Meeting

[flirt5721]

I would like to know how other chapter deals with having computers or tablets out during meeting. I know today's generation it is hard for them to unplug. The reason some of the chapter wants the computers/tablets is to take notes or use their calendar and believe that they should be allowed to as some professional setting they are allowed. The cons to that is that we have seen girls get distracted, doing homework, shopping, and iChatting.

We don't have laptops or tablets out because we sit in a lecture hall that doesn't have the space for those. They're also just not part of the chapter culture, in that unless you're taking attendance or running the Powerpoint show there's no reason for you to be having one. We tell girls to get a planner to write things in unless we explicitly tell girls to put a phone number in their phone and then put it away. We also have a recording secretary who sends out the minutes after every chapter meeting so anything a girl misses can be read afterwards.

I don't know if that helps you solve your problem but that's how my chapter works.
