Delegates
Delegates are the only IWW members authorized to collect dues and sign up new members. More than handling money, delegates help connect members with each other, build member involvement in and ownership over the IWW, and generally are a resource for members. If you need to pay dues or want to talk to someone about how to get more involved, contact a delegate. If you're already a member, a delegate should contact you regularly to check in. For more on the duties of delegates, see our branch bylaws, branch delegate manual, and the IWW constitution.
