Attendance
Please remember that you must attend 8
breakfast meetings and 6 open houses every
rolling 13 week period to be in compliance
with the ABA attendance policy. If you are
unable to attend an open house, you can
complete a discovery tour to fulfill your
attendance requirement.
Also, remember that an alternate rep may
attend in place of the designated rep,
provided that the alternate rep shall not
exceed four meetings per year.
• If you must cancel your open house,
please do so at least a week in advance.
Holding an open house is the way
people get to know you in ABA.
Members are encouraged to hold an
open house at least once a year.
• As a courtesy to our speaker, attendance
credit will not be given for anyone
arriving at a meeting after the speaker is
introduced
