Individual Membership
efsli Individual membership is open to sign language interpreters within Europe, and other interested persons who subscribe to the aim and objectives of efsli. Such members may participate in meetings, but have no voting rights.
Membership
efsli has been uniting sign language interpreters across Europe to strengthen our profession for many years.
In 2002 we established the membership structure and fee. That was based upon the GDP of your country.
In 2023, we introduced a fairer membership fee system based on the Cost of Living Index (COLI), ensuring that fees reflect the financial realities of our members across different countries.
Why?
By joining, you help increase our collective efforts to support, advocate for, and grow the sign language interpreting profession. As an individual efsli member, you’ll receive:
- Up-to-date information on efsli's activities, news, and publications (including our efsli newsletter, via Mailchimp, don’t forget to check your spam folder!).
- Access to event invitations, announcements, and calls for participation in projects that could enrich your professional journey.
- Discounted rates for efsli conferences and training events, offering you unique opportunities for professional development. (Complying with different CPD bodies)
- Direct support and engagement from efsli's officers, always ready to listen and assist.
Membership is valid from January 1 to December 31 each year, no matter when you join, making it easy to stay involved year-round.
