It is the Iowa Cancer Consortium’s practice to remove AI assistants and notetakers from the virtual meetings it hosts. These include workgroup, committee, and board of directors meetings, as well as virtual conferences. Openness is foundational to the work that happens within the Consortium, and we want every person to feel like they can speak and participate openly and honestly during meetings. But don’t worry - our staff take and share great meeting notes!
