How to proceed to become a member ?
To become a member, you must first communicate your interest to become a member to the secretariat at info@euromontana.org, mentioning your contact details, the nature of your organization and the scope of its action. You can do this by filling-in the first page of the membership Membership application. You can add to this page any information you find relevant in order for us to know you better.
Upon reception of your interest in membership, the Board of Directors will be consulted on the relevance of the application and on the amount of the membership fee.
The amount of the membership fee is established thanks to a grid depending on the nature and size of the organisation. A grid giving the maximum amount per category of member is included in the membership application form. Reduced fees are applied to members coming from countries which had, in 2001, a GDP below 50% of the former EU-15.
Based on the information you communicated, which should include elements on population and GDP for territorial entities, the Board of Directors will decide on a membership fee level and invite you as a member.
If you agree with the amount submitted, you will have to confirm your agreement by submitting a signed version of the second page of the membership application form.
You will be considered as a full member upon reception of payment of the membership fee.
