Full meeting setup
Set the meeting name, date, time, location, capacity, and access type. Meetings link to your organizing records so attendance and response data stays connected to member activity history.
Targeted invitations
Build participant lists from any eMembership query: chapter rosters, work site filters, event history, or ad hoc membership queries. Invitations go to the right members with personalized RSVP links.
Attendance tracking
Enable Attendance Mode on the day to check members in as they arrive. The record captures both RSVP responses and actual attendance so you see who committed versus who showed up.

Everything your union needs
to manage meetings and events

From chapter general meetings to organizing events, the Meetings and Events module handles scheduling, invitations, RSVPs, and attendance in one connected workflow.
Meeting and event setup
Create meetings with name, date, time, location, capacity, and access type (open to public or by invitation only). Each meeting can include a description, recap, and external URL for members to reference.
Email and text invitations
Send meeting announcements by email or text from within eMembership. Each message contains a personalized response link so members can RSVP with one click and their response is captured automatically in the participant record.
Targeted participant lists
Build participant lists from any eMembership query or roster. Invite an entire chapter, members at a specific work site, or any custom group defined by your membership data. No manual list maintenance required.
Attendance Mode for in-person check-in
On the day of the meeting, enable Attendance Mode to check members in as they arrive. The participation record captures both RSVP and actual attendance separately so you can see who responded versus who actually came.
Member App push notifications
For unions that include the optional eMembership Member App, meeting announcements can be sent as push notifications to members' phones. Members tap the notification to view details and submit their RSVP from their device.
Response tracking and reporting
The participant list shows each member's contact status, RSVP response, and attendance record. Export to CSV for reporting or follow up with non-respondents directly from the meeting screen. Results tie back to member activity records.
We were considering two companies and ended up choosing eMembership. I felt they were more personable; they focused on our needs instead of just talking about the product. Their price structure is very straightforward. The Winmill software was easier to navigate and cleaner. Whatever needed to be fixed, got fixed.

Questions about
union meetings in eMembership

The module supports any type of meeting or event your local runs: chapter general meetings, executive board meetings, organizing events, training sessions, ratification meetings, and member outreach events. Each meeting has a configurable type, access setting (open to public or by invitation only), and participant list that can be tailored to the specific audience for that event.
Notifications are sent directly from eMembership by email or text. Each message includes the meeting details and a personalized RSVP link that captures the member's response automatically when they click it. For unions that include the optional eMembership Member App, meeting announcements can also be delivered as push notifications to members' phones, with RSVP available from the notification.
Enable Attendance Mode on the meeting record on the day of the event. The participant list shows each member with a check-in checkbox. Staff can check members in as they arrive and the attendance record updates in real time. Attendance is captured separately from RSVP so the final record shows both who said they would attend and who actually showed up.
Yes, with the optional eMembership Member App. Members receive push notifications when a meeting is announced, can view the details in the app, and submit their RSVP from their phone. The Member App is an add-on module separate from the base Meetings and Events functionality. Ask about the Member App during your intro call to understand current capabilities.
Participant lists are built from any eMembership query or report: chapter rosters, work site assignments, member status filters, or fully custom ad hoc queries. This means you can send an executive board meeting invitation only to board members, or a ratification meeting notice only to members covered under a specific contract, without maintaining separate contact lists.
Yes. Attendance and participation records from meetings are linked to the member's activity history in eMembership. This means you can query membership data to find members who attended a specific event, or include event participation as a filter when building lists for future meetings or organizing outreach.
