In my opinion, one of the main areas where I have seen the use of virtual platforms stand out, is the ability of local lodges to host guest speakers from across the country, giving presentations that would have otherwise been impossible due to the time and expense of travel and lodging.
With a modest investment in necessary equipment such as a projector connected to a laptop with an Internet connection, and a decent set of external speakers, this technology could bring guest presenters to local Lodge meetings in a virtual format that immediately overcomes the limitations previously preventing many smaller Lodges in remote areas from offering their members access to popular Masonic speakers and educators.
I think this is exactly right. Properly set up and used it puts the most remote of Lodges on the same footing, with the same opportunities, as Lodges in the biggest of cities, and it also equalizes the poor Lodge that could never afford to bring in a named speaker with the wealthy Lodge that can.
I really hope that when this pandemic finally ends our Lodges will seriously put this technology to work.
