What is the process to become an Affiliate Member?
There are several documents that you will need to attach to your application.
If you are based in a country where FIDIC has a Member Association (MA) or Associate, you should submit a letter of approval from the FIDIC MA. This letter must be signed by the President or Director of the association endorsing the applicant and sent to the FIDIC Secretariat. Applicants should provide any information required by the association in order to prepare the approval letter. The letter is essential to the application process and only applications accompanied by an approval letter will be reviewed.
A letter stating: your motivation for the application; your main area of activity, in particular, activities in fields related to consulting engineering and allied professions; and the relationship of the organisation to the consulting engineering industry and to the FIDIC Member Association in the country of origin.
You need to provide 2 letters of recommendation from any association, clients, partners or similar organisations working in the consulting engineering industry. These letters should normally be from the two references mentioned on the registration form.
