GLA-ONS No-Show Policy for Meetings |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have RSVP'd to a meeting, and find you cannot attend:
1. If it is >24 hours ahead of the meeting: Please change your RSVP in the Evite System
2. If it is within 24 hours of the meeting, or you got a flat tire, developed an illness, or had some other last minute event, please contact either the Program Chair or the President/President Elect (this can be after the meeting if it was a truly "last minute" event). We would recommend Email so that we can get members off our waiting list into meetings. We will post information on who/how to contact us on the website (http://losangeles.vc.ons.org/).
If you are a no-show, (meaning you have RSVP'd yes, but then you DID NOT attend the meeting without contacting the board as above) the first time you will receive a reminder via Email.
If, in the next 12 months, you miss a SECOND meeting you will be issued a no-show fee for $25 payable prior to attending further meetings. This money will be collected and at the end of the year added to the potential scholarship money that will be awarded throughout the year for Conferences.
Again, this policy is purposely meant to address the individuals who have repeatedly not shown up after RSVP'ing Yes. It is not meant as a punishment for last minute issues (who hasn't had a code on their floor/office on their way out the door to a meeting?), it is meant to reinforce professional and courteous behavior to your fellow members. We have a large waiting list for most meetings, and we want to ensure members who wish to attend are not prevented when we have a 10-20% no-show rate.

Membership Report October 2009:
GLA-ONS is over 200 members strong! But we are always open to new members to enhance our chapter even more.
October kicks off our membership drive and membership renewal for current members. We are currently reviewing a list received from ONS that provides us with the names of local RNs who are members of National ONS but not the local chapter. We will include them in our membership drive to inform them about our great chapter and all of the opportunities available. Please check your email in the coming weeks. We will send an email to inform you that your membership is due for renewal with an application attached. You may return the application to the November meeting or drop it in the mail to the address indicated on the application. If you know of anyone who may be interested in joining our chapter, please feel free to print an extra application for them.
Membership to GLA-ONS requires that your National membership is current. The dues are as follows: Student member-$15/year. Regular member-$25 for one year, or $40 for two years.
Thank you to all members that keep our chapter extraordinary!
We look forward to another great year of working with our members.
Membership Chairs, Jennifer Peterson and Sue Cabriales
