This year, online registration will be available for the National Convention. Registration will be done through UE’s new “CRM” online database. The process can be done on a smartphone if necessary, but doing it on a regular laptop or desktop computer will be easier.
In order to register your delegates and alternates online, you will need a password to log into the CRM, which will be emailed to your local’s president and financial secretary the week of May 22. If you do not receive the password, please contact the National Office.
Once you have the password, this link will take you to the CRM login page where you will need to log in using the email address and password you received from the National Office.
Once you have logged in, you will see a large red button labeled “2023 Convention” — click on this button, which will take you to a page called “Convention Details.” This page will list the number of delegates your local has been allotted, the number of delegates and alternates you have registered, and (once you have begun the registration process), the amount of delegate fees that are due. Below that will be a list of the delegates and alternates you have registered, and below that, separate forms to register both delegates and alternates.
To register a delegate or alternate:
- Scroll down to the “Register Delegate” or “Register Alternate” form
- Use the “Select Member” option to pick out the member you wish to register as a delegate or alternate. If you begin typing a name into the input, their name should show up in the options. Please note that if your membership list is not updated in our database, some of your members may not appear in this list! If you are trying to register a member who is not showing up on the list, please contact your assigned field staff.
- Enter the member’s email address, cell phone, and mailing address. These fields are required.
- If you know which workshops the delegate (or alternate) wishes to attend, or you want to assign them to attend specific workshops, you may select those here. If you leave them blank, you can select them later. Delegates (and alternates) will also have an opportunity to register themselves for workshops as it gets closer to convention.
- Indicate whether the delegate (or alternate) needs childcare or interpretation into Spanish, and if they are a first-time delegate/alternate (have not attended an in-person UE convention before).
- At the bottom of the form, please enter your name and your role in your local (e.g., “Albert Fitzgerald, Local 201”) in the “Registered by” field.
- Click the “Submit” button.
After you have registered all of your delegates and alternates, the amount of delegate fees due will appear at the top of the page. Click on the red “Pay Delegate Fees” button to pay using a credit card. You may also mail a check to the National Office.
Once you have registered delegates and alternates, they will appear in the “Delegates” list. To view their registration details and change their workshop registrations, child care or interpretation needs, etc., click on the “View and edit” link in the right-hand column.
