What if I need to leave the room?

At any International Convention, the highlight, electricity, and thrill come within the General Sessions.  Here, the convention attendees are able to listen, discuss, and vote upon the proposed amendments to our governing documents.  What an exciting time!

Your attendance at every General Session is important.  A quorum of members (the majority of those registered for the convention) needs to attend so that voting may take place.

But, what if I need to leave the room?  Well, emergencies do arise, of course, but try to hold off leaving until votes are taken.  If you have an urgent need to leave, you will need to check-out of the room. When you return, door monitors may keep you outside if a vote is in progress.  Once the vote has been taken, monitors will let you re-enter the General Session and check back in.
