7. Effective as of October 25, 2011, All Student Nurses’ Association members will be encouraged to attend all SNA meetings with the allowance of two absences for extenuating circumstances. If a member is unable to attend at least two meetings, he/she must discuss the conditions with the officers for reasons they cannot attend the meeting or meetings. Such allowable excuses include class schedule, prior commitments to work, child care, and/or other justifiable situations. The member’s absence will result in an extra hour volunteer commitment with each meeting missed. If a member cannot meet these requirements, the member will no longer be eligible to receive full credit as an SNA member for that semester, but will be eligible to regain membership the following semester.
