Membership

Company membership is governed through AFFA national associations.

AFFA presents the regional federation publicly, while company membership is reviewed under the relevant national association before private portal access is granted.

Pathway

Review-first onboarding protects the AFFA member network.

Public users can see federation and association information. Company profiles, contacts, invoices, documents, and introductions stay inside authenticated member areas.

Step 1

Apply under a national association

A company selects its association and submits contact details for review.

Step 2

Association review

The relevant association reviews the application and approves eligible company members.

Step 3

Invoice and activation

An invoice is issued and membership becomes active after payment is recorded.

Step 4

Member-only access

Verified users can access directory, event registration, invoices, and introductions.

Company membership application

Company members must be connected to a national association before portal access is issued.

Member access

What verified company members can use after approval.

Company profile and association relationship

Member-only company directory across AFFA

Request introduction to another member or ask AFFA to mediate

Track issued and paid invoices

Register for published AFFA events

Receive future document access when enabled

Eligibility and privacy

The public site explains the pathway; the portal protects member records.

AFFA company membership should be understood as part of an association-led governance structure, not an open public directory.

Apply under the relevant association

A company selects the national association connected to its country or membership relationship.

Association review comes first

The association validates the company before portal access or member services are issued.

Payment tracking is operational

Invoices and payment status are visible in authenticated areas, not on public pages.

Introductions are controlled

Member-to-member introductions can be requested directly or mediated by AFFA administrators.
