WILPF Branches Information
Published on August, 58 2012How Branches Work in WILPF
WILPF US encourages individual members to seek out their local branch in the Branch Directory below. (If there is no branch near you, you are welcomed as an at-large member, and you can engage in your local community with other activists to pursue WILPF programs and actions. Also, you can join our nationwide virtual branch, the Jane Addams Branch. Contact the Membership Development Chair (see the current Board of Directors listing for contact info) to find out more about the Jane Addams Branch.)
Branches democratically choose their leaders, maintain communications with national WILPF, and operate locally in the name of WILPF, featuring the WILPF US logo and name prominently in their documents and signage. See more information in our six guidelines and recommendations for Model WILPF Branch Procedures.
In a branch, members meet regularly, forming working relationships and friendships. Branches center their meetings and local events and actions on WILPF issue committee activities and campaigns, as well as on other WILPF initiatives and issues. At the same time, with co-sponsored and coalition activities, branches ally with other organizations for greater effectiveness.
Forming a Branch
WILPF members can organize a branch in their community by involving at least ten current, local WILPF members. (See above for how to contact the Membership Development Chair for more information.)
