Good idea....or too intrusive?

How is it required?

My guess is it is "required" just like we are "encouraged" to do this. If you do not, then it is perceived that you are unsupportive of your association. That probably means you are called upon in emergencies to fill in where needed but otherwise will not be working much (not that this is ever explicitly stated...).
