In Qld, if you miss two consecutive meetings without writing an apology you are essentially disqualified and can be replaced by a fill-in without notice. My block has done that. The person didn’t show any interest or attend many meetings, or read any emails, including the one telling him as much. Then does his block (‘I wasn’t told’) at the agm meeting (that he had to be told was on). Makes you wonder why folks really bother applying for the role if they don’t intend to give it their best shot, especially as they may be keeping a better candidate off the committee.
