MEETING GUIDELINES

 

INCLEMENT WEATHER

MNRG typically follows the closing dates of the Union County School System. Please refer to this website and/or our Facebook page (members only) for updates.

​

MEETING VISITORS

Visitors may attend up to 2 meetings for free before deciding to join. No sponsor or reservation is necessary. Just be prepared to introduce yourself and share a little bit about your business.

​

All members of MNRG are expected to conduct themselves in a manner reflecting the quality and standards of a professional businessperson. Please silence cell phones during meetings. We encourage you to bring your good thinking, ideas and dialogue to share with the group as we continue to grow. Guidelines for membership are as follows:

 

ATTENDANCE

Every member is expected to attend every meeting, but at least two meetings every four weeks is mandatory. We understand your business must come first. However, excessive absences are not beneficial to you or the other members. Members are expected to attend meetings a minimum of twice a month unless prior arrangements have been made.

​

If a member is unable to attend during a particular week, they are encouraged to send someone in their place and will not be counted as a missed meeting for attendance. The substitute must be associated with the business they are representing.

​

At the end of each quarter, attendance will be evaluated by the membership committee. If your attendance fails to meet the required number of meetings your participation will be reviewed by the membership committee and a "Notice of Intentions" will be sent. The member will be asked to respond, letting the membership committee know if they intend to remain with the group. If they wish to remain, their response will be evaluated and they will be notified of the outcome. If they wish to withdraw from the group it will be so noted.

 

Acceptable absences include: Medical and family emergencies, inclement weather, business related. If you find your schedule prevents you from attending on a regular basis you may need to evaluate the value you bring to and gain from the group. For businesses unable to be represented on a regular basis we suggest new members be allowed to join and your membership be retired.
