General Membership Meetings
Membership meetings are where we make collective decisions about finances, administration, and the organizing and initiatives we’re building together. They’re also one of the best ways to plug in and learn more about what our union is working on.

General Process for Membership Meetings on Zoom
- We use simplified Robert’s Rules to keep meetings organized without being overly procedural. See our Robert's Rules guide for more.
- A tentative agenda is emailed at least two weeks in advance to the email on file for each member. Members vote at the start of the meeting to confirm or amend the agenda.
- To speak, type “stack” in the chat. The chair calls on people in order, while also making space for voices we haven’t heard yet.
Voting happens through a web-based polling app called Vevox.
Everyone will stay on mute unless they’re recognized by the chair. To be added to the queue to speak, type ‘stack’ in the chat and the chair/facilitator will call on you.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to info@nihfellowsunited.org.
