Audio Info: 1-888-396-0833 Participant Code: 9835428 Please hit the 'mute’ button or use *6 to mute your phone until you are ready to speak up. Don’t place the call on hold. No matter how busy you are, putting a conference call on hold forces the entire group to listen to your hold music. If you must step away, use the mute feature or hang up and dial back in.
