Members

ICLAFI has the following categories of membership:

• Expert members are ICOMOS members who have at least five years’ knowledge of and/or association with law, administration, finance, economics, or tax in connection with the protection of cultural heritage.
• Associate members may be conditionally accepted by the ICLAFI Bureau if they do not meet the requirements for expert membership. Associate membership may be for up to three years in the first instance, after which the membership may be upgraded to expert membership, or the associate membership may be extended or rejected due to non-participation in ICLAFI’s activities.
• Honorary members, who need not be ICOMOS members, may be elected in recognition of their services to ICLAFI, and/or in recognition of outstanding in the field covered by the aims and activities of ICLAFI.

Emerging professionals are ICOMOS members who are students or at an early stage of their professional career. They are encouraged to join ICLAFI as either expert members or associate members to maintain ICLAFI’s scientific relevance for future generations and to achieve intergenerational engagement for the organization’s continuity.

Participation in ICLAFI’s activities

Expert and associate members are expected to actively participate in ICLAFI at least every two years through attending its meetings and symposia, submitting papers or responses to questionnaires in lieu of personal attendance at symposia, undertaking projects on behalf of ICLAFI, representing ICLAFI in an official capacity before other bodies, or otherwise making substantial contributions to an ICLAFI subcommittee or task group.

Becoming an ICLAFI member

ICOMOS members interested to join ICLAFI may write to us with a letter introducing themselves, enclosing a curriculum vitae setting out their relevant qualifications. They should keep their national committee informed about their application. Alternatively, they may arrange for their national committee to nominate them for ICLAFI membership and to provide ICLAFI with the necessary information.
