Chapter Policies
Updated
for 2005-2006
1. Mailing Labels
The ISES South Florida-Caribbean membership list is available
complimentary to all current ISES members. The complete membership
list is available to all non-members at a cost of $125. A
complete set of the ISES South Florida-Caribbean mailing labels
is available for one-time use to members at a cost of $125
and to non-members at a cost of $300.
2. Cancellation Policy/No Show
Policy
Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance. No shows will
be billed which includes non-members. If a member has an outstanding
balance, he/she will be asked to pay that balance before attending
another meeting.
3. Meeting Rates
Meeting rates will be proposed at the beginning of each year
by the VP of Programs and the programming committee.
4. Meeting Fee
* The ISES membership is NOT owned by the company. It is owned
by the individual.
* If the membership holder is unable to attend, they cannot
send someone in their place for their member fee. The attendee
must pay the non-member rate.
* If a member has RSVPd and is unable to attend a meeting,
they may send someone in their place and not be charged for
a “no-show.” However, the attendee pays the non-member
rate, if they are not a member.
5. Grievance Policy
Members are committed to the Principals of Professional Conduct
and Ethics, as described by ISES International. However, our
chapter has no formal grievance policy or procedure. This
is a very gray area and communications between both parties
is encouraged. We will encourage both parties to try to work
out the disagreement amicably on their own.
6. Member Rights
Members have the right to a list of membership at any time.
Mailing labels are available to members at a cost outlined
above. We follow an open-door policy and all members are invited
to attend a board meeting at any time.
7. Communications
All communications to the complete mailing list MUST be routed
through the VP of Communications and distributed through our
standard distribution format.

Involvement
In
order to get the most value out of your membership, it is
important to become involved in the day-to-day activities
of the chapter. As they say, you will get out of your membership
what you put into it, so be sure to take full advantage of
your investment!
We
understand that everyone’s ability to participate will
be different and we are working hard to find different opportunities
for all different levels of time commitments. Take the opportunities
that are available to get involved, even if you can only commit
a small amount of time! Here are a few of the opportunities
for you to become more involved in the ISES South Florida-Caribbean
Chapter:
* Board of Directors
* Committee Chairperson or Committee Member
* Student Volunteer Involvement
* Miscellaneous
Committee
Chairperson or Committee Member:
Many of our board duties are quite extensive and often require
the help of additional committee members. Do you have an interest
in helping develop some of our monthly programs? Or, would
you like to write articles for the monthly newsletter? We
need help on a variety of our committees including:
* Communications:
The goals and objectives of the communications committee are
to develop a cohesive branded message in tandem with ISES
International Headquarters by disseminating information locally,
regionally, nationally and internationally. These goals and
objectives are accomplished through the utilization of tools
such as the ISES South Florida-Caribbean Web site, newsletter,
e-mail and various other media outlets. The committee is also
charged with reaching as many current and prospective industry
members with informative and timely information and news with
regard to the Chapter and the special events industry.

Conte at 954-707-2487
* Membership:
Help recruit, retain and re-engage current and new individual
members and corporate supporting organizations to the chapter.

through various programs and activities.

Felipe at 954-636-2511
