The ELRA Board is currently reviewing the membership policy so as to offer better adapted benefits to reward faithful members. For this purpose, it was decided to replace the Membership Fidelity Programme by a discount on membership fees for consecutive years in addition to other benefits. Consequently, the current Membership Fidelity Programme terminates as of September 1st, 2017.
Detailed information will be provided after ELRA General Assembly in October 2017.
Faithful ELRA members having paid their membership fee between January 1st and July 1st, 2017 will be able to cash the miles earned over the years to renew their membership, register to LREC 2018 and/or purchase Language Resources up to May 1st, 2018. After this date, the uncashed miles will be lost.
By now, all ELRA members should have received a mail stating the number of miles acquired and left for their institution.
For more information, please contact Valérie Mapelli (mapelli@elda.org).
The purchase of the Language Resources from the ELRA catalogue with additional discount.
If membership fee is paid before July 1st, the member gets the annual number of miles immediately.
If membership fee is paid after July 1st, the member is entitled to keep the miles acquired so far but the member will not earn miles for the current year (all other member benefits still apply, e.g. reduced price on resources, on LREC registration fees, etc.). The rule does not apply to new members who can join anytime and earn miles for that 1st year.
If membership fee has not been paid by December 31st, all the miles acquired so far are lost.
After 2 years (2012 and 2013), a not-for-profit institution will have earned 400 miles (200 each year) and will be able to register 3 students for LREC2014.
After 4 years, any institution member of ELRA will have earned enough miles to get a free membership for one year.
