Substitute Program

• Chapters can, but do not have to, develop a substitute list. This list should consist of people who are available to substitute for any member on an as needed basis.
• People to consider for substitutes include: your customers, clients, patients, friends, family, employees and former members.
• If there is no conflict with a member, the, substitute can mention their business understanding, however, that their primary purpose is to represent the member.
• The Chapter should be aware that a substitute will be attending the meeting. The Visitor Host should be there to greet the substitute and welcome them to the meeting.
• Utilize Meeting Stimulant #28 Substitute Day occasionally.
• A member should have a substitute come when they are absent, but not replace them on a continuous basis.
