How embarassing is it to host a guest speaker and have no one show up?

<p>We had our second student organization club meeting today. The first one was a success, 60 people showed up to watch a presentation about careers in the National Security Agency. </p>

<p>Today we had a retired FBI as a guest speaker…problem was NO ONE beside the 5 club officers showed up! </p>

<p>To stop such a disaster from every happening again, do you think it would be unreasonable to have a certain amount of people commit to attending a meeting in writing whenever there is a guest speaker in the works? If the quota isn’t met, then we won’t have a guest speaker that day. </p>

<p>Does that sound good?</p>

<p>No, it’s not ridiculous. Just make something where people can reserve a spot and see how many people sign up. If enough people don’t show, don’t do it.</p>
