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.
