Maggie Hefter, City Clerk, City of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

“Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, many of our Council members attended our City Council meetings virtually, with the Member App our members can motion and vote remotely on their ipads or smartphones allowing us to continue our meetings almost seamlessly. Our Council President likes it because he is able to see on his phone who made motions and the voting results when he’s attending virtually. The OpenMeeting customer service has been incredible and the system is easy to use with step-by-step instructions. I highly recommend OpenMeeting.”

Karen Gibson, County Clerk, Dodge County, Wisconsin

“OpenMeeting is a big boost to both the member and public experience for our board meetings. It gives our board members the ability to vote remotely on their smart devices, and embedding OpenMeeting’s public display into our virtual meetings helps everyone, including the public, follow what’s happening in our meetings. We have always received great training and support from the entire OpenMeeting team. Emails and phone calls are answered promptly and efficiently. My favorite thing has been the ease of use. Hands down, ease of use and user experience was crucial for our members and the OpenMeeting system is easy for everyone.” 

Brett Lashlee, Mayor, Benton County, Tennessee

“For rural counties such as Benton, the digital age is really just coming into play within our normal operations and governmental communications with our citizens and customers,” said Benton County Mayor, Brett Lashlee.”

“With the COVID-19 impact, this has forced an acceleration of the need for more digital enhancements. I am a product and student of the digital age having worked in more urban settings where digital components were an everyday thing. However, I believe our local officials, employees, and citizens are now very much welcoming this into our normal and everyday working world seeing the benefits of more enhanced and efficient operations from the COVID-19 complications that were placed on us suddenly. Maybe that was one benefit of the virus, but a benefit very much needed for the rural areas as it was long overdue. We are excited about getting this new system up and running and incorporating it into our everyday world. It will allow for more transparency to our citizens, while aiding various departments and legislative processes.”

Jill Lau, County Clerk, Door County, Wisconsin

“Providing ways to safely and securely hold meetings has been a top priority for us,” said Jill Lau, Door County Clerk. “This innovative meeting technology is one of the ways that we are re-thinking our approach to engagement and collaboration. We are hopeful that the public will enjoy and feel comfortable experiencing Door County meetings in this new, more accessible, way.”
