Hi Belles!
As a reminder, for meeting attendance credit make sure to fill out the attendance form shown on the projector at GM (and if you come in late, please find me afterwards). Remember that missing GM without filling out the appropriate form (either attendance or non-recurring excused absence, both found in my weekly emails) will result in a penalty. Also, please remember to submit proof to the S25 Event Attendance Tracker after participating in any event for any office. To check your status in fulfilling credit, refer to the S25 Event Completion Sheet.
In addition, please fill out the S25 Recurring Conflict Form if you plan on missing multiple GM’s due to work or school. Additionally, if you plan on going inactive for the spring quarter, please fill out the Spring Inactive Form. Both forms are due by the Sunday of Week 3, Sunday 20th, at 11:59 PM (this is a hard deadline).
