Inactive Membership Inactive membership is for those that cannot attend

weekly meetings due to time conflicts with class or work. Thus, inactive membership allows you to be exempt from the Monday night meetings.

In order to be granted inactive status you must bring in a documented excuse that clearly shows why you cannot meet at 7 PM on Monday nights.

You may only be an inactive member for one semester.

Attendance at 5 service events and 3 planned socials is still required.

Probation If the requirements on the previous slide

are not met during the course of a single semester of membership, you will be allowed to remain in AED, but on a probationary status. Therefore, you have the following semester (be it Fall or Spring) to complete the requirements that you missed in addition to the normal ones for the current semester.

Blacklist If you do not make-up your probationary

points, you will be blacklisted. Will not be able to continue membership

in AED. Name given to OHPA
