Shaping the future of
local services in Europe
Joining ESN
ESN warmly welcomes new members and associate
members.
Full members are usually the national
associations of directors of public social services
and health in different European countries. However,
in countries where there is at present no national association
of directors, the highest level of directors' association
that exists becomes eligible for full ESN membership.
ESN has a board of trustees comprising a representative
from each full-member organisation
Many other types of organisation are eligible for associate
membership of the network.
Associate-member organisations do not sit on the ESN
board.
Benefits of membership (full and associate)
-
Opportunities for cross-sector networking across
Europe
-
Invitations to join European transnational programmes
of exchange and learning
-
Advance notice of conferences and other events
-
20% discount off delegate fees to the annual European
Social Services Conference for your organisation’s
members in addition to other discounts offered for
which you are eligible (e.g. discounted fee for
new EU member or EU candidate country delegates)
-
Supporting the development of a network concerned
with quality services and the empowerment of users
as full citizens
Membership Fees
There is an annual membership fee, which is raised
annually by approximately 2-3%
for inflation. Members are not required to renew their
membership and are invoiced annually at the start of
each year. In 2008 the
fees are as follow:
Full membership: €1855.00
(UK: £1330.00)
Associate membership: €930.00
(UK: £667.00)
Upon receipt of the completed application form, we
shall invoice your organisation for the annual fee.
After you become an ESN member, members of your organisation
will automatically benefit from the 20% discount when
registering for the annual conference. Organisations
that join the network after the annual conference will
be charged a pro-rata membership fee for the remaining
months of the year.
