A public member who misses three consecutive mandated training seminars faces which consequence?

Public boards require ongoing participation from their members through mandated trainings, and missing three consecutive sessions signals that a member is not actively fulfilling duties. To keep the board effective and representative of the public, the rule is that after these repeated absences the seat is forfeited. That means the position becomes vacant and a new appointment can be made. The other options don’t fit: there is a consequence for nonattendance, and the automatic remedy isn’t simply retaking training or a temporary suspension—the designated outcome in this scenario is forfeiture of the seat.
