MUST ATTEND TWO MEETINGS
Effective as of October 25, 2011, All Student Nurses’ Association members will be encouraged to attend all SNA meetings with the allowance of two absences for extenuating circumstances. If a
member is unable to attend at least two meetings, he/she must discuss the conditions with the officers for reasons they cannot attend the
meeting or meetings. Such allowable excuses include class schedule, prior commitments to work, child care, and/or other justifiable situations. The
