Meetings
All members are required to attend at least 6 meetings a semester (unless you have an excuse). The good part is that each meeting gets you 1/3 of an AGS hour. So if you attend six, you've already earned 2 AGS hours. General and planning meetings both count towards this requirement. So that you understand the way our meetings work, please read the following:

General Meeting Guidelines
The purpose of general meetings is to present events and new information to all members. To make meetings as effective as possible for all who attend, as well as to be respectful of others, please consider these suggestions:
- Unfortunately, the Forum does not allow food or drinks.
- Please turn off all cell phone ringers and handle your phone calls discreetly or outside.
- Feel free to ask questions by raising your hand and waiting to be called upon.
Planning Meeting Guidelines
The rules are the same as the general meeting ones except for the following:- Food and drinks are allowed, but you must keep your area as it was when you entered.
- Open session planning meetings allow greater interaction with the board than the general meetings. Feel free to join in on our discussions!
- Take all phone calls outside.
