Announcements:
No guests today.
I’d like to encourage everyone to read our bylaws. They can be found on the website at the bottom of the home page. Knowing what our goals are, and proper procedures can benefit everyone. That said, there have been several questions regarding absences. The rule is that if you miss a meeting, regardless of having someone share a lead for you, it is still counted as an absence. You just won’t owe the $2.00 for no lead. For members who attend regularly, a periodic absence will not put you in violation of the attendance policy so no need to worry.
Though I have posted this several times, I wanted to share it again. Bylaw 7.04: “Giving and receiving Leads is the cornerstone of the Association. Members are expected to give Direct Leads, Referrals and Thank Yous at the weekly meetings. Each member should have at least one Lead each week. If a member fails to give at least one Lead, that member will be “fined” $2.00 by the Secretary. Leave the $2.00 at your table with your name so the Secretary knows who paid it. If a member will miss a meeting and has not given their Leads to another member to give at the meeting, the member will be expected to pay their $2.00 at the next meeting.” So, technically the $2.00 fine is not for the “table” or the Christmas party, that is just how we’ve used the monies in the past. We do intend to continue this practice with the monies collected, I just wanted to put this note out there for our members not observing the correct procedure.
To our speakers, please look at the list to see who is speaking after you, you’ll introduce them the following week and greet our members at the door the week after that. We highly encourage you to have a 1:1 meeting with the person you are introducing, it gives you a better understanding of who they are as a person, and you get to learn more about what they do. For the person to be introduced, feel free to send a bio but don’t forsake the 1:1 meeting.
