Sebuah perakitan adalah sekelompok anggota organisasi yang bertemu secara berkala untuk membuat keputusan tentang area tertentu atau ruang lingkup organisasi.
Majelis mengadakan pertemuan, beberapa bersifat pribadi dan beberapa terbuka. Jika mereka terbuka, adalah mungkin untuk berpartisipasi di dalamnya (misalnya: menghadiri jika kapasitas memungkinkan, menambahkan poin ke agenda, atau mengomentari proposal dan keputusan yang diambil oleh organ ini).
Contoh: Sebuah majelis umum (yang bertemu setahun sekali untuk menentukan garis-garis tindakan utama organisasi serta badan eksekutifnya melalui pemungutan suara), dewan penasihat persamaan (yang bertemu setiap dua bulan untuk membuat proposal tentang cara meningkatkan hubungan gender dalam organisasi), komisi evaluasi (yang bertemu setiap bulan untuk memantau suatu proses) atau badan jaminan (yang mengumpulkan insiden, pelanggaran atau proposal untuk memperbaiki prosedur pengambilan keputusan) adalah semua contoh majelis.
