As needed, general membership meetings may be scheduled on thirty days' notice at any time of year to deal with particularly pressing issues requiring the approval of the membership. Each membership has one vote at these meetings. The 1999 annual general membership meeting was held on March 14. Although only stewards are able to vote at these meetings, member participation is actively sought, and the meetings are run on democratic principles. In addition to membership and store meetings, there are also committee meetings.
Members earn work credit for attending all meetings.
