February 2019: Important message regarding member intake @ European Federation of Art Therapy (EFAT)
The constant flow of contact, mailing and newsletter requests coming in through EFAT’s website demonstrate that the resonance to the creation of EFAT is very positive. We expect membership applications to be quite numerous.
Over the recent weeks it has, however, become increasingly clear that making EFAT fully operational needs more time than originally planned. The reason for this is that the online membership application forms, the application review process, the Ethics Code and several important details of the Rules of Internal Order (Bylaws), which need to be set up before beginning the process of general member intake, require more attention to detail and work than foreseen.
Therefore, the beginning of member intake has been postponed until after the Vienna EFAT meeting in May. Any member discounts on the participation fee for the Vienna meeting will later be deducted from the applicant’s membership fee.
The necessary information about membership categories and criteria, membership fees and the application process will be posted in due time on EFAT’s website.
