Hi Steve, thanks for asking! We use it directly in the Meeting Agenda to find substitutes and role fillers. Possibly at the top of the agenda. This would put it right up front and no need to print out and waste paper.
Attendance
Yes: <names>
No: <names>
Uncertain: <names>

Thanks Steve! Carol

Thanks for your reply! I had pictured it between the actual agenda and the meeting notes section. Ideally for me it would be a copy-paste-able list of absentees (rather than something hidden in a dropdown), just as it is on the bottom of the printable agenda:

Attending: Name, Name, Name
Not Attending: Name, Name, Name

I was thinking it would be be nice if "Attending" included only those who don't have a role, i.e., aren't listed above in the agenda. "Attending, no role assigned." So members know at a glance whom to contact if they need a substitute.

Even better if we could add the Not Attending list to the Multiple Meeting Sign-Up Sheet. That's also why we've kept "Absent" as a role to sign up for, so we can see at a glance during the meeting that we shouldn't bother Jeff, Jen, and Bill about taking a role next meeting.

I suppose if Bill thought his upcoming absence might be contentious, he could choose to keep his status as "uncertain." But I know all clubs are different. Thank you for considering this stuff! I really appreciate it, and so does my club.

Good point about including "Uncertain," Carol. That would help me too. I added my own reply to this thread, but I like your idea of it appearing above the agenda even better than below. Thanks!

Ok, let me "chew" on this a while. This is not really on my "radar" at the moment (talk is cheap, actions take time and effort), and I have plenty of things I am focused on, so please be patient. Thx for your input. :)

Thank you as well! Completely understand Steve.

Kerint, Uncertain is the default when the member has not gone in and responded their attendance. So to see who has not responded is good to know. ;-)
