Representatives also need to notify their Committee Chairman if they have assigned responsibilities for the evening and are unable to attend meetings

The Publication Committee sends a meeting notice 10 to 7 days before each meeting. This regular monthly meeting notice provides information regarding the monthly meeting. If a representative is not able to attend this meeting, it is her/his responsibility to RSVP to the person listed on the meeting notice so that the firm will not be charged for the dinner meeting. Sometimes separate invitations are mailed: i.e. Firm Recognition Night, fundraisers, Firm Nights.
