Being a member of FAM means you have a voice both in FAM and at Miami University. Here is an outline of your local chapter membership:
- Not only can you vote for your chapter officers, but you can run for office yourself!
- Become a member of FAM committees where you get a frontline voice in your local’s operations.
- Vote on tentative contract agreement and join committees writing the articles the negotiating team fights for!
- Access FAM’s exclusive online forum where we debate important issues not only within FAM, but on campus, in our state, and our nation.
National benefits to save money!
Being a member of FAM also makes you a member of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the AFL-CIO.
This combined national membership provides a wealth of benefits for travel, entertainment, educational opportunities, legal services, health, shopping discounts, insurance, credit union and financial services from CD/money market funds to mortgages, and much more!
Union-Plus benefits — Formed in 1986 by the AFL-CIO to provide excellent consumer benefit programs exclusively to union members (current and retired) and their families. Sign up today! Notes: Use AFT as your affiliation and Faculty Alliance of Miami, AAUP-AFT 375 as your local. You’ll sign up for their entertainment discounts with a second provider.
As FAM organizes, we hope to offer local benefits as well!
