Membership
Currently, eight World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE) Affiliate Organizations represent the interests of individuals and carry out activities in our network according to local, cultural, and national affinities. Together, WFAE Affiliate Organisations and Individual Members collaborate in creating a global vision for Acoustic Ecology.
Your annual membership in either one of the WFAE Affiliated Organizations or as an Individual Member provides you with the benefits offered by a regional association and those of the international WFAE. WFAE membership is renewable, expiring at the end of the calendar year in January. Please note that each Affiliate Organization has its own membership application process and fees.

What is an Affiliated Individual Membership?
When no Affiliate Organization is available, Individual Affiliate Membership supports local action and global awareness wherever it occurs. Individual Affiliate Members receive all the WFAE discounts and supports that an Affiliate Organization member enjoys. Individuals pay their membership fees directly to the WFAE. This is particularly helpful for those who have no convenient access to an Affiliate Organization, or who relocate frequently, or for any other reason. However, we recommend, when possible, that an Affiliate Organization be joined.
Fee:
Regular: US $35 / Students: US $20 (with copy of current student ID)

Forming a WFAE Affiliate Organization
Many affiliates have started with only a small group of dedicated individuals. The WFAE strongly supports such efforts and welcomes inquires about planning for an affiliate organization in your region of the world.
