Article III: Duties of Senators
Section A. Senators shall regularly attend Senate meetings. If they cannot attend in person they may assign a proxy as defined in Article IV, Section F of the bylaws, or give advance written notice of their planned absence to the Secretary. Senators must attend at least two meetings per quarter, one of which may be attended by a proxy. Any Senator failing to fulfill this obligation will be terminated from GPSS membership. Any exceptions to this meeting attendance requirement shall be approved by the Secretary.
