Our membership and quorum minimum is steadily increasing and maybe it's time to look at it again.

Yes
Ok well there goes the short meeting agenda.

I can understand if the club is NY based and the meeting is in Maine but from the sounds of it there is more then just a few clubs not making any single given meeting and it even sounds as though some are habitually absent from all of the meetings.

I don't know if you guys have something like that already, but if not it's something to think about.

I dunno. I flip flop on the issue too (imagine that). Part of me says just make it whoever shows up and the other half says whack the knuckles of the clubs that don't show. This Assoc was NOT built by whacking knuckles however, we've let the clubs be VERY autonomous. Maybe this has to come to an end? Who knows.
In my heart of hearts I don't think meeting attendance should a gauge of participation at all. I busted ass for this Assoc for a 2-3 year stretch and never attended a meeting. People like Mikey, Dom, Carl Merrick and a host of others have too.
