RLG  Events  Policy

• Attendance:  CBS  students  are  expected  to  honor   their  RSVPs  and  be  present  at  any  event.  Attendance  will  be  taken  at  every  RLG  event.

• Presence: If  you  attend  an  event,  it  is  expected  that  you  are  present  and  participating.  Do  not  forget,  you  are  representing  you,  RLG  and  CBS.

• Cancellation  policy:  If  you  absolutely  must  cancel,  please  do  so  at  least  48  hours  in  advance.  Failure  to  do  so  will  result  in  lower  priority  at  future  events  with  limited  capacity,  which  are  essentially  most  of  our  events.  

Please  remember  that  we,  our  predecessors,  and  our  stakeholders  have  worked  hard  to  create  meaningful  and  long-­‐lasting  connections  with  companies  and  leaders  in  the  industry  and  appreciate  your  help  to  continue  to  strengthen  these  relationships
