Membership Application Process

Any application for membership must be addressed to the executive director, who will process the application and joining fee and, if appropriate, make arrangements to visit the applicant and report to the Executive Committee. The joining fee for new members is € 600, to be paid on application, of which 50% is to be returned if the application for membership is not accepted.

The Executive Director will consult members in the country before submitting an application for membership to the Executive Committee for consideration.

Notification of membership acceptance will be sent by email following the meeting and membership will commence immediately on payment of the relevant membership fee.

A new member must send a representative to the first Congress after admission into membership, and thereafter must send a representative to Congress at least every third year.

The criteria for and classes of membership may be amended from time to time by the IFBSO Executive Committee.
