Subject: absences Author: bess [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:31:41 06/17/01 Sun as far as absences, whether they are excused or not, i think we should add in a clause for Article VII G, duties of the representative. it should relate to informing the secretary before missing a meeting and filling out an absentee slip, where it can then be categorized as excused/unexcused (if we decide to keep this system)and signed by member and secretary and provided for proof at the meeting. then we run into the problem of what if the person didn't contact the secretary and fill out an absentee slip? any suggestions?

[> Subject: Responsibility Author: Alex B [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:01:57 06/18/01 Mon I agree with the suggestion and I offer that if they do not fill out the slip, it is an unexcused absence regardless. I think the forum council representative, being old enough to live independantly and having been chosen to represent a constituency should have the adequate responsibility skills to get this slip filled out if it is necessary. We can not be nursery maids afterall. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I remember when I was secretary two years ago I was supposed to keep track of who was excused and not. Did that somehow get left out of the new constitution. Anyway, I think the slip is a good idea, but let's just let it be a little piece of paper with the reason the member will be absent and their signature. I don't think we should make them fill out an actual form or anything. I guess this is all contingent on keeping the distinction between excused and unexcused though. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
