&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"&gt;This year, we&amp;#39;re using Whova, a virtual conference platform, to bring you as engaging and experiential a General Membership Meeting as possible. &amp;nbsp;After you register here, we&amp;#39;ll send you login credentials for Whova&amp;nbsp;which can be utilized via your computer or your phone! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"&gt;We encourage you to download the app, start putting together your profile, and generally just take a few minutes to get&amp;nbsp;familiar - so that you can be comfortable using it by the time GMM comes in just a few short weeks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
