YEE Membership criteria and rights

All members of YEE are considered to be equal and are subject to pay a membership fee in proportion with their budget.

All members have the following rights:

Right to be present at the Annual Meeting;
Right to nominate candidates for all posts of all statutory bodies and working groups of the network;
Right to vote. Each member shall be entitled to one voting right.

In order to practice those rights, all members should:

Have no debts of membership fee from the previous year
Pay the membership fee of the actual year or committed to pay it until the end of the AM.
Be active in YEE activities during the year. Being active means:

- ○ Sending at least one participant to one of YEE activities
- ○ In cases that they cannot send any participants to YEE activities, contributing the work of YEE in online matters, ie. sending articles to YEE newsletter, disseminating calls of YEE, and contributing to surveys, questionnaires sent by YEE

YEE Membership Fees

The amount of the membership fee depends on the annual budget of the member organisation.

Member organisations should transfer the membership fee yearly to the bank account of YEE before the deadline set up by the YEE Board. In case the bank transfer is too expensive for a particular organisation, the organisation can bring it in cash to one of the YEE meetings.

The voting right of the organisation will be suspended if the membership fee is not paid before the official opening of the Annual Meeting.
