What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Operating Principal is required to attend certain meetings. Specifically, the Operating Principal must attend all annual meetings or conventions, as well as all regional or local meetings, held by Aerus or its representatives.
However, there are limitations to the number of meetings the Operating Principal is required to attend. Aerus will not require the Operating Principal to attend more than two annual meetings or conventions and no more than four regional or local meetings in any given calendar year.
