General Membership Meetings (GMM) are critical forums within our local union and represent one of two formal gatherings where elected representatives connect and engage with the membership. Conducted formally, and following established rules of order outlined in the Local's Bylaws (link here), GMMs provide a platform for a variety of important activities, including:

• Informative Reports: Receive updates and reports from the Executive team, various committees, and gain insights into the Local's financial health.

• Active Participation: Engage in discussions on important proposals, applications for Member in Good Standing status, and other matters impacting the Local.

• Your Voice Matters: Ask questions, share your perspectives, and participate in votes that shape the future of our local union.

By attending GMMs, you play a vital role in ensuring a strong and informed union that effectively represents your interests. We encourage all members to actively participate in these essential meetings.
