Event Attendance Policy

The CFA Society of Nashville schedules most events at no cost to members as one of the benefits of membership.  Due to scheduling requirements with facilities hosting the events, we are required to provide advance confirmation of attendance to the host facility.

To allow us to provide adequate notice to the facility, event notifications will generally provide an RSVP deadline.  Based on responses from members, we then provide a headcount total which carries with it a financial commitment by the Society, regardless of whether the member actually attends the event.

Due to non-attendance on the part of some members, the Society has adopted the following policy in regard to attendance at meetings for those who have committed to attend.

If you RSVP for a luncheon and for whatever reason cannot attend, you must give adequate notice to the Society.  Adequate notice is considered to be the final RSVP date.  If you have not given this cancellation notice, then you will be required to pay the fee for your meal in the event of non-attendance.

It is important to note that you will be unable to register for future events if you have not paid a fee related to a missed event.
