The current assembly members have been through this learning already, so let’s take a look at what we have so you feel comfortable joining in

General Assembly (GA) meetings: You can choose to attend the scheduled GA meetings…

  • First, display your name on Zoom like this…example: *Jane Doe – Kalamazoo county
  • The meetings last 1-2 hours.
  • We start with prayer, decorum guidelines, and then go through an agenda list, one at a time.
  • Reports are given by volunteer “chairs” of each committee group that have worked on their assigned topics.
  • It’s like watching a movie accept that you get to interact with questions or comments, and even vote. (although, no popcorn is served…sorry).
  • You also have the “free will” option to not attend any meeting.

About committee meetings:

  • As a ASN you can choose to join The Michigan Assembly.
  • As a member you can attend most of our “working” committee meetings.
  • In these meetings everyone is a creative thinker working to solve the matters at hand.
  • It may take more than one committee meeting to thoroughly brainstorm on a situation.
  • When the committee is ready to report their conclusions to the GA, they put it on the agenda.
  • The GA can then hear the committee report that has been brought forward for them to consider.
  • This is where the GA (body of people) can make decisions on the matter presented before them.
