Congress just made a massive change to how it functions: moving to remote operations. This change was rapid and unexpected. It is likely that many congressional managers have questions about how to manage their team in this new environment. To help congressional offices at this time, CMF conducted a webinar, "How to Manage a Congressional Office Remotely during a Crisis," on March 26.

- 5 changes you should immediately consider for office operations.
- 4 rules for managing staff in a teleworking environment.
- How to make a "virtual" meeting seem "real."
- 6 mistakes managers often make in a crisis.
- Helpful and REALLY silly things you can do remotely to help everyone maintain their sense of humor...and their sanity!
This webinar was conducted by Bradford Fitch, CMF's President and CEO, and George Hadijski, CMF's Director of Congressional Programming.
