Question: Are we allowed to stipulate that Members must attend at a specific number of meetings in any given year.
Answer: No, one of the promotional aspects of membership in PROBUS is that there is no compulsory attendance at meetings. We recognize that it can be frustrating if you have Members who do not attend and at the same time have a "waiting list" of people who would like to join.
The best solution is to simply ask non-attendees if they would step aside and allow room for those who would like to attend. There may be a variety of reasons why "paid up" Members do not attend and discussion with them may serve to enlighten you as to what theirs might be. It may also be that they have a "need to belong" or simply wish to support the Club (financially).
