If a member does not participate in programming facet, are they in compliance?

If a member does not participate in programming facet, are they in compliance?

• A. No, participation is mandatory for all members
• B. Yes, participation is optional
• C. Only if excused
• D. Only if they attend quarterly meetings

Answer: (A)

Participation in the programming facet is required for all members. When a rule says participation is mandatory, choosing not to participate means you’re not in compliance, since there’s no allowance for skipping that activity. The scenario described—a member not taking part in the programming facet—fits the condition of non-compliance given the stated requirement. The other options would imply flexibility (optional participation, an excused exception, or compliance tied to another activity), which contradicts the stated mandatory rule. So the correct interpretation is that participation is mandatory for all members.
