Please note that these instructions differ slightly from the instructions that were mailed out in April. Online registration will open in early May.
Online registration for the National Convention will be done through UE “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. Your president and financial secretary will receive an email with the subject line “UE CRM - Reset Password” to the email addresses we have on file in early May when online registration opens. The email will contain a link which will allow you to create a password and sign into the CRM. The email will come from christiancw@ueunion.org, the email address of UE Data & Technology Coordinator Christian Cmehil-Warn.
The password link is only good for 24 hours. If you miss the window for setting your password using that link, you can go to crm.ueunion.org and click on the “(forgot?)” link next to the password input. This will take you to a form where you can enter your email address to receive a new link to set your password. Please note you will need to use the email address we have on file for you.
If you do not receive the password reset link, or need help accessing the CRM, please contact Christian at christiancw@ueunion.org.
Once you have reset your password, it will take you to a screen where you can log in to the CRM with your new password. We suggest you bookmark this page for when you are ready to register your local’s delegates. Alternatively, you can visit ueunion.org/convention and follow the online registration link to the CRM login page.
Once you have logged in, select “Locals Dashboard” from the menu. From there, under “My Local,” click the “Local Details” button. From there, click the button “Convention Registration” under your local’s contract information, which will take you to the Convention Registration page.
This page will list the number of delegates and alternates your local is entitled to, 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.
To register a delegate or alternate, use the “Register Delegate” or “Register Alternate” buttons, which will take you to the form:
- Use the “Delegate” or “Alternate” drop-down 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.
- 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).
- 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. If the counts are not correct, refresh the page. Click on the “Pay Delegate Fees” button to pay using a credit card. You may also mail a check to the National Office.
