During the mandated covid lock-down period our in-person business meetings and associated lectures were suspended. However, during 2020 the meetings and lectures continued using Zoom and these sessions were recorded. After the covid lock-down mandate was lifted, the in-person meetings and lectures resumed, the Zoom meeting option continued, and these meetings are recorded. The in-person post-covid meetings resumed December 2022. The recorded sessions are presented for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
