Guest Policy
Guests are permitted to attend chapter meetings only if accompanied by the sponsoring chapter member. The sponsoring member will be responsible for the payment of the guest's meeting fee. Within the same program year (July 1 – June 30), a guest is only permitted to attend two (2) New Jersey Chapter meetings and/or events. If for some reason the sponsoring member is unable to attend, he or she may request that a member of the Executive Committee stand in for the evening as the guest’s escort. This must be pre-arranged. The number of guests may be limited at the discretion of the Executive Committee.

The sponsoring chapter member is responsible to insure that the guest understands and adheres to NJSIM's chapter rules and policies and SIM's Code of Conduct.

A chapter member may request the waiver of the monthly meeting fee for their guest if the guest meets our membership criteria and the guest is attending as a “potential member” with a good possibility of joining the New Jersey Chapter and the attendance of the guest is first approved through the VP, Membership.
