1. Become a DARE associate member!

Are you an individual, or a public institution or private organisation who wants to morally and financially support the goals and objectives of DARE? Then you can apply for associate membership of DARE. The procedure is very simple: send an e-mail with the name, the full address, the e-mail address and eventually the url of the candidate for associate membership to the DARE board, via its Treasurer. After having received the electronic invoice from the treasurer you pay the associate membership fee (€ 70,00). You will then be added to the DARE mailing list and the e-DARE subscribers list.

Notes:
1) According to the DARE constitution (to be found here) the DARE Board has discretionary powers to eventually refuse the application for associate membership without further motivation.
2) Associate members have no voting rights.
