Associated Members

Associated members can be private persons, companies, associations or other organizations and parliamentary reporting services , whose membership is of importance for the enlargement of the working field of the Federation.

'Associate membership' is not automatically granted to anybody asking for it. The nomination has to be evaluated by the Board and  the Council, which finally approves.

Associated members will be able to actively participate at the main events and decisions since:

- they are entitled to vote at the General Assembly which takes final decisions on many important aspects of the life of Intersteno

- they are entitled to take part at the Central Committee sessions, giving their opinions on the agenda, even if they are not entitled to vote.

- they receive and send information about activities and plans of  Intersteno.

- they are entitle to use the definition of  'Associated member of Intersteno' and Intersteno logo, in their communications.

Since the  Council generally meets once per year, it is necessary that a request is entered at least 90 days before the date of the Meeting. Please check the event calendar on this web-site.

This request can be sent with the form available at the menu 'Join us' of this web-site.

The Associated membership fee is €175 per year.
