| The benefits
of membership
Below are 21 benefits
that your SIETAR membership invites you to take
advantage of. Of course, it is your imagination
and collaboration that are the rich resources
that make all these and much more possible.
As a SIETAR member you
get:
- Access to both local and global networks of
intercultural colleagues and professionals.
You will receive an updated SE directory quarterly.
- Your SIETAR network enables you to share experiences,
resources, and best practices, as well as to
offer and take advantage of work and training
opportunities
- The information and communication services
of the SIETAR Europa office and its secretary
via the SE office, which also currently serves
as the Hub for SIETARs worldwide
- Information about and access to congresses,
conferences training days, briefings and social
events both within SIETAR and more broadly in
the intercultural and related professions.
- Discounts on SIETAR events worldwide. Attendance
at two major SIETAR events may itself provide
enough savings to cover the cost of your annual
membership.
- Opportunities for development through mentoring
and being mentored, through coaching and being
coached
- Invitations to participate in special interest
groups, task forces
- Online resources, documentation center listings,
workspaces, chats
- The opportunity for peer review of books,
training programs and other intercultural products
that you create or deliver
- The opportunity to contribute your ideas and
research and best practices to the building
up of the intercultural profession, one that
will prove essential to the world’s well
being in the 21st century
- Representation and a lobby with other NGOs,
UN and governmental bodies.
During 2006 we intend
to add to these benefits with:
- A buddy system for new members
- A new and improved online workspace
- An online directory with opportunities to
expose and advertise your expertise and your
wares as well as offer and share on-line employment
opportunities
- Online and blended e-learning in which you
may participate as a professor, tutor or learner
- Optional professional insurance coverage
- Professional certification standards
- SIETAR identity as a professional cachet
- Discount opportunities for other services,
e.g., hotels, travel etc.
- An international congress
- Last, but not least, good fellowship and lots
of fun
Join as an individual,
or join as an organisation:
Your SIETAR membership
fees which are among the lowest rates among professional
societies like ours make all of this possible.
We hope you will renew now and will take the extra
effort to invite others interested in this field
to join you. If you belong to a group or organization,
consider the benefits of an organizational membership.
How to join, and how
to get specially low rates:
Residents of European
countries with established SIETAR groups obtain
membership through their respective organisations
(e.g. SIETAR Austria, Deutschland, France, Nederland,
UK). Individuals living in areas of Europe where
there is no local SIETAR may become direct members
of SIETAR Europa. Outside Europe, they may become
SIETAR Associates. Those who may be entitled to
apply for special rates include students, retired
people and people who can demonstrate their low-income
status.

form, which describes the kinds of membership
and enables you to enroll as a member.
