SISTAS Membership & Participation Accountability: FAQ
-
To keep the energy of our sisterhood strong, connected, and meaningful. We want to make room for women who are actively engaged, supportive, and truly committed to the mission of SISTAS.
-
Paying a fee helps—but participation matters most. If you’re consistently not checking in, joining Zooms, or attending events, you may be moved to Inactive status after a reminder. We want every member to be more than just a name on the roster—we want your presence, too!
-
Participation includes:
• Attending Zoom meetings
• Showing up for events or community service
• Responding to group messages
• Interacting in group chats or posts
• Participating in at least one activity per quarter
• Taking part in Sisterhood Connection assignments
-
Checking in can be as simple as:
• Saying hello in the group chat
• Commenting or reacting to posts
• Reaching out to a fellow sister
• Letting an Admin know you’re still interested, even if you can’t attend events right now
It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present.
-
Without payment, you’re not considered an Active or Social Member. You’ll be listed as Inactive and may lose access to:
• Member-only events
• Internal communications
• Voting privileges
• Sisterhood Connection participation
-
It means we’ll review a member’s participation and payment status and may update their membership level—either to Social or Inactive. This helps us maintain a space filled with women who genuinely want to grow and support each other.
