WBE Membership Process and Voting Guidelines
- Every current member has an equal vote.
- Interested women are asked to attend two meetings, and then fill out an application.
- When a woman applies for membership, the New Member Chair will advise the full membership that an applicant has taken out an application.
- In this same notice, the New Member Chair asks everyone if there are any concerns. If a member has concerns about this prospective member the concerns need to be shared with THE LEADERSHIP TEAM. This is the opportunity for everyone to bring their concerns forward. The issues will then be investigated and addressed confidentially by the Leadership Team.
- Members have two choices for votes held via email: yes or no.
- If a member votes no, then the member must elucidate, give more information as to why so that all members can be aware of the concerns.
- For an applicant to be offered an invitation to membership, she must receive a yes vote from 90% of the members who voted.
- The Leadership Team reserves the right to have a re-vote for any out of the ordinary circumstances.
