Understanding the Meatfest Attendee hierarchy
Guest –> Preferred guest –> Member –> Committee Member

The structure

• Guests are invited by Members only
• Each Member is entitled to 5 total guests (per Meatfest)
• A Guest is elevated to the status of Preferred guest after attending 2 consecutive Meatfest events.
• Once a Preferred guest, the individual locks his/her spot and may attend the next year’s Meatfest event without being tied to a Member’s guest list
• A Preferred guest is downgraded to Guest status if the Preferred guest misses any consecutive Meatfest event
• A Preferred guest may reach Member status only by 2/3 majority vote by the Committee
• Preferred guests, Members, and Committee Members may all hold event planning related titles (such as “Head of secondary grilling”)
• The Committee may veto any invite by another Member by a 2/3 majority vote
• The Members may overturn a Committee veto by a 2/3 majority vote
• All invites by Members must be circulated to the entire Committee for review
• The official invite process is to be determined in advance of the Meatfest event by the Committee and no other invite process will guarantee entrance to the Meatfest event
