+ - share resources, tips & best practices to make runnier **SIGs** easier
+ - discuss and summarize scientist (user) feedback to help guide the technical development of the Galaxy platform;
+ - communicate scientist (user) vision and feedback to the Galaxy Governance structure to advance scientist (user) goals in the Galaxy community; and
+ * develop proposals to advance scientist (user) goals in the Galaxy community.

+
+Galaxy Governance consists of a [Galaxy Executive Board](https://galaxyproject.org/community/governance/geb/) that provides global direction, working with a [Galaxy Technical Board](https://galaxyproject.org/community/governance/gtb/) that represents [Working Groups](https://galaxyproject.org/community/wg/) and a [Galaxy Community Board](https://galaxyproject.org/community/governance/gcb/) that represents [Special Interest Groups]({% link topics/community/tutorials/sig_define/tutorial.md %}).
+
+![Galaxy Executive Board is in a rectangle over top of two rectangles, the Galaxy Technical Board and Galaxy Community Board, which are themselves over top of Working Groups and Special Interest Groups, respectively. A Project Management Office rectangle spans the image across the bottom]( {% link topics/community/images/structure.png %} "Galaxy Community Governance" )

+title: How can I plan meetings across timezones?
+box_type: tip
+layout: faq
+contributors: [nomadscientist]
+---
+
+1. Go to a [timezone website](https://24timezones.com/difference/us-ca/brisbane#2024-06-30T00:00) to see equivalent times across the globe.
+2. Select multiple times that capture at least 2/3 of the globe (we recommend three timezones)
+3. Alternate meetings across those timezones to enable global participation.
+4. Share your meeting time by going to [this timezone website](https://arewemeetingyet.com/#form) and inputting your timezone and meeting time. This will give you a URL you can link to any communications that will automatically convert that time to the local time of anyone opening the URL. You can also include your meeting notes link there for ease.
+
+*Time-saving tip*: If you meet every 2 months, you can set up 3 recurring calendar events for each time chosen to recur every 6 months. It's automatic, it's inclusive, and it's less effort!
