Meetings:

Active members must attend at least 80% of the regular monthly meetings during the school year in order to remain a member in good standing. When a member is unable to attend a meeting and informs the adviser in advance of the scheduled meeting, he/she may watch the video of the missed meeting in the week immediately following the missed meeting, under the supervision of the adviser who will give the member all handouts distributed at the meeting. Under these circumstances, the meeting will no longer be considered “missed.”
