For Our Members

New members: check out our New Member Guide to have many of your need-to-know questions answered.

FAQ's
Find answers to some of the most common questions our members tend to have. 

We need you!

Our union can only function with the help of our members who volunteer their time and get involved. If you're interested, there are plenty of opportunities to help a little, a lot, or somewhere in between. Email bellevillelocal434@gmail.com to find out more. 

What can you do?

Chair a Committee

Many different committee positions are available. If you'd like to be appointed to chair a committee, just contact the President and express an interest. The President makes committee appointments every year, and positions regularly need filled.

Join a Committee

Many committee chairs could use help and assistance with their responsibilities. If you're interested in helping but can't make our monthly meetings, or if you just want to make a limited commitment, this might be just what you're looking for. 

Run for Election

We hold elections yearly and any dues-paying member may run for election. It doesn't have to be the same people every year. We just need a few committed members to take the reins. Are you up to the task? 
Elected officers and committee chairs attend meetings on Thursdays once a month @4pm. With the exception of the General Membership meetings, locations of meetings vary from month to month and are held at local eating establishments. (Sorry, but you have to pay for your own food and drinks.)
