ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION

We have a lot of great plans and activities mocked up for CPG going into the future, as well as many benefits of being an active member right now. Surveys of our membership indicate they do not want to extend key membership benefits to people who have not helped our group.

Therefore we need to define exactly what an active member is and what constitutes participation.

• Attending at least one major monthly meeting within a 3 month period (minimum 2 within a 6 month period (being flat out on Bridge services is the acceptable exception)
• Working on any of our Div-6 projects or other projects that are issued
• Other participation that clearly forwards our purposes in policy #1.
