To attend the webinar in listen only mode, dial 914.614.3221 and enter access code 824-383-088. If you are unable to participate in your state’s scheduled hearing, you are welcome to participate in any of the virtual hearings.

Hearings will be held via GoToWebinar, and you can join the webinar from your computer, tablet or smartphone. If you are new to GoToWebinar, you can download the software by (clicking here) or via the App store under GoTo.

If you find your device is not compatible, please contact the Commission at info@asmfc.org (subject line: GoToWebinar help) and we will try to get you connected. We also strongly encourage participants to use the computer voice over internet protocol (VoIP) so you can ask questions and provide input at the hearing.
