Become a Member of the Table des groupes de femmes de Montréal
Why Join?
As a regional advocacy group for women's rights, the TGFM draws its wealth and expertise from the commitment of its members. The diversity of the groups that make up the TGFM strengthens its influence and the relevance of its representation of Montreal women in all their diversity. These multiple experiences are vital in developing feminist perspectives on issues affecting the Montreal region. New members therefore contribute to enriching the variety of topics addressed by our collective projects.
As a member of TGFM, you benefit from a supportive network. The members' bulletin, sent out approximately every two weeks, provides exclusive information such as training opportunities, documentation, project updates, research and invitations.
Types of membership
There are two types of membership for the Table des groupes de femmes de Montréal. The criteria are set out here, and we have a flowchart to help you understand membership.
Only regular members have voting rights and can be elected to the coordinating committee. Allied members may attend general meetings without voting rights. All members can participate in working committees and thus contribute to the realization of TGFM's mission.
Regular group Members - 40$
Regular members contribute to the realization of the TGFM's objectives and democratic life, through their participation in general meetings and other decision-making bodies.
