Provisional Membership Status
Please note that until you attend orientation, your membership status is Provisional with Local 99. After you attend, you will receive Regular membership status. Per our bylaws, a Provisional member must attend an orientation within six months of joining; if they do not, their rights and privileges of membership (including voting at meetings and in elections) are revoked until such time as they do attend an orientation.
Why Attend?
You’ll hear about what members like you have done to create resources and benefits available to all members, and what you can do to help strengthen your union and your career. You’ll learn about the opportunities, protections, and resources you have access to as a Union member.
You’ll also get the chance to meet with our Local 99 staff, who have a wealth of knowledge and vast experience on trends in the music industry. Orientation gives you the opportunity to engage with your fellow members and see how the unity and resolve of your union can build political power, to ensure that musicians’ voices are amplified on every level.
“…but I can’t attend any of the dates offered!”
