April 14th Meeting

We mainly went over the new contract.
Here is the rough draft:

As a member of the Moda Guild Fashion Organization of the Art Institute of Raleigh-Durham, you are required to understand and uphold certain expectations throughout the year.

• To remain a member of good standing, you are expected to:

• Complete a minimum of 1 philanthropic event as well as 1 organization sponsored event per quarter.

• Attend at least one event that Moda Guild is involved with per semester.

• Moda Guild Fashion Organization Meetings will be held Each Tuesday at 5:00pm.

• Continue to stay updated daily through the Moda Guild Facebook group and blog.

• By joining Moda Guild Fashion Organization at the Art Institute of Raleigh-Durham, you are expected to attend ALL events that you decide to sign up for. When our members fail to show up at an event without prior notification of their absence, our Moda Guild Fashion Organization loses its credibility with the community. The lack of event attendance by our members lets down the people we commit to helping and the other members of the organization. If you are unable to attend an event, you must notify the board at least 48 hours before the event. If you fail to notify the board of an absence from an event your status will become inactive for the remainder of the quarter. Membership may be reinstated only at the beginning of the following quarter. Dues will not be refunded upon a membership revocation. It is highly discouraged to miss an event, so please only sign up for events that you are positive you will be able to attend. If each individual commits to these items, he/she will remain a member of good standing. We feel confident that these guidelines will help us grow as individuals and as an organization. We look forward to continuing to grow together in service to our community.

Along with staying dedicated and involved in community events, participation in at least one philanthropic event per quarter is required. The same standards for participation in organization sponsored events will apply to philanthropic events as well.

Moda Guild Fashion Organization meetings will be held every Tuesday of the quarter at 5:00pm. Times and dates are always subject to change. Meetings are very crucial to being involved in this organization, so a minimum of three absences will be required. Exceeding the three absences will result in membership revocation.

One way to stay updated with organization events and cancellations will be through the Moda Guild Facebook page, as well as the blog. It will be very important to check the status of this Facebook page each day to be sure you are reminded of changes/additions, etc.

Sincerely,

Your 2009 Moda Guild Fashion Organization Officers
