When a Member is not in regular attendance at the Chapter Meeting, there is less opportunity for him/her to give and ask referrals and networking. It is proven that Chapters with good Member attendance perform the best.

This policy needs to be followed for the better functioning and performance of the Chapter. The MDC will have to notify the Chapter CEO when it becomes necessary to open a Member's category as a result of his / her termination.

4. It is also recommended that MDC make a phone call to the Member after his/ her uninformed absence in the Chapter Meeting without deputing a substitute. It could be reiterated that continued absence would result in the Member's classification being opened up for new Members.

Termination Policy:

1. If a Member acts against the rules of the CNI, acts in a manner that disrupts the unity of the chapter, or behaves erratically in the chapter, he may be expelled from the Chapter as decided by the Core Committee Leaders with the concern of Chapter CEO. The Core Committee holds the authority for initiating the required corrective action to be taken against any Member, in the event of his/ her failure to comply with the policies and / or the code of ethics of CNI.
