Members will endeavour to support the other members by sharing and commenting Social Media posts and being alert to opportunities for the other members.

Cancellation of attendance at a meeting must be 24 hours before the meeting out of respect for the hostess as the time frame dictates that appropriate food and beverages (based on member’s tastes, allergies, etc.) are to be provided by the host member.

. The Advisory group should be kept to a maximum of 6 people, but this may change based on the decisions of the entire group. New prospects may be brought in by first advising the current members of the prospect and why the inviting member feels that the person would be an addition to the group. The inviting member then approaches that prospect and invites them to a meeting, informing them that this is not a guarantee of membership. Prospects may attend a maximum of two meetings and must receive a unanimous vote of entry from other members.

. Lynda will continue to be the “grand pooba” or president of the group and coordinate and communicate with the members. The Advisory Group’s website is: http://www.wowcommunications.ca/advisory and will list schedules, contact information and any other relevant information.

 

Meeting Format & Agenda:

The format is flexible and primarily driven by the members. Lynda will act as the facilitator while each member has approximately 15 minutes to talk about business, once everyone has had a chance to talk the meeting can move to more of a discussion format. The hostess for the meeting will provide appropriate beverages as well as sufficient food to address the partaking of the aforementioned beverages.
