SHOUT OUT TO OUR AFRAM MEMBERS FROM LOCALS 32BJ, 221, 722, 925, 26, 521, AND OUR NEWEST MEMBERS IN THE SOUTHERN REGION – FLORIDA & LOUISIANA!

WANT TO ORGANIZE AN AFRAM CHAPTER?  Here’s a step-by-step template to help get you started!

Step 1 (Before the Meeting)

• Membership in the National AFRAM Caucus is required. Any member can initiate the meeting.
• Secure a meeting place
• Post and distribute a written notice two weeks prior to the meeting. The notice should include an agenda, announce the election of officers, and identify a contact person.
• Confirm attendance of perspective participants three days prior to the meeting
• Keep a contact log of everyone telephoned.
• Choose refreshments to be served

Step 2 (During Meeting)

• Make sure a sign-in sheet is available. Include contact phone numbers and
  address.
• Ask someone to take the minutes
• Conduct the elections of Officers and Board Members
• Vote to become a part of the Local’s Civil and Human Rights Committee or
  to remain autonomous
• Vote on a monthly meeting date, time and place, Example: The AFRAM
  meeting will be held on the second Wednesday of each month at 7 pm at the
  Union Hall.
• Discuss organizing strategies to recruit new  members.
• Prior to ending the meeting collect the sign-in sheet. Make sure it is
  completed and contains all the requested information.

Step 3 Step 3 (After the meeting)

• Send a copy of the agenda to the National Secretary and Regional President. The
  minutes should include a list of the officers, board members and regular
  members.
• Circulate information about your new AFRAM chapter and start recruiting
  new members.
• Plan fundraisers to provide financial assistance in running the local chapter and to assist at least five members to the National and Regional Conferences.

Additional Considerations

• Elect at least  four officers and five more board members. Keep the total
  numbers of the total officers uneven. In the event a tie exists, the President
  or Chairperson votes to break the tie.
• Decide if the newly created AFRAM Chapter will be under the Civil and
  Human Rights committee within the Local or remain automatons. If the
  AFRAM chapter is under the Civil and Human Rights committee, all
  decisions will require the approval from the Local’s Executive Board.
