On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361, legislation to facilitate teleconferencing of public meetings during states of emergency into law and, followed four days later (September 20, 2021) with Executive Order N-15-21, which delays the implementation of AB 361 until October 1st. AB 361 amends California's various public agency open meeting laws, including the Brown Act and codifies public agencies’ ability to conduct meetings via teleconference, notwithstanding some of the usual provisions that make teleconferences impractical during emergencies.  
 
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the regular meeting of the Ivy Academia Board of Directors will be a teleconference meeting where the members of the Board of directors will attend the meeting via teleconference. Members of the public will continue to have the right to observe the meeting using this link:
