transportation funds allocated to a 10-county region in Pennsylvania. Meeting every other month they wanted to nd a
way for the general public and commissioners to attend meetings without requiring them to drive to a physical location.
Tom Straw, Multimedia Designer for The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission said MegaMeeting “has been terri c for
us as a means of inviting the public to our meetings without them necessarily having to drive to meeting physical
locations; also, commissioners can attend any of our monthly mandatory meetings in this manner.” Mr. Straw goes on to
say “In February of 09, we were able to use MegaMeeting to have a virtual meeting about the stimulus package with
Senator Bob Casey. He was supposed to y in for the meeting in Fayette County. Rough weather prevented that, but with
MegaMeeting, he could be "at" the meeting anyway.”
Currently, MegaMeeting is used only to broadcast a portion of their
meetings, but in the near future they plan on using MegaMeeting to record “MegaMeeting is easy to use and
