Member

The difference between members is inherent to the Belgium legislation about the VZW (non-profit) organisations.

Working members take a responsibility within the organisation and have a voice in the General Assembly. The working members guard the goals of the organisation and the quality standards set.

Associated members are interested in the organisation and it’s services, but have no responsibility in the organisation. They do however promise to support the goals of the organisation.

To apply for associated membership associated an individual or an organisation can write a simple request to the BoD. You can download the membership request here.

If the request is accepted, the BoD will send a request to pay membership fee.

Once the membership fee is payed, the individual or organisation is associated member.

Associate members are in the first place supporters of high quality international recognition of certifications in the event and performing arts sector.

Associate members:

• • are informed about all our activities and plans.
  • are consulted on new ideas
  • can participate and speak at the General Assembly
  • can follow our training
  • can become working member

To become a working member you have to be an active associated member and to be an interest, professional or trade organisation that is active in the theatre, event, conference, congress, concert or other live industries; or deliver certifications, qualifications, guidance, training or education to these fields; or being an expert in the above fields.

To apply for working membership an individual or an organisation sends a request to the General Assembly. You can download the membership request for indiviual memberschip here and for organisations here. (link)
