Kindred Association Members (territorial or sectorial organisations)
An organization may be admitted as a kindred association member with consultative voice, if it is an organization or institution whose members are potentially interested in or committed to the objectives of AIEST. Each kindred association member is entitled to send participants from its highest representative body (e.g. board of directors or similar) to the Association's annual conference at AIEST rate, provided that their representation does not exceed a maximum of three delegates. Each member, individual or institution, of a kindred association member is entitled to a preferential regular membership fee, providing that membership is granted in the first place..
