An important distinction
Beneficiaries, participants, occasional volunteers, donors, sponsors, partners and collaborators may support the work without automatically becoming association members.
Support is never conditional on membership. Governance and voting, however, are exercised only by founding members and full members, according to the statute.

The rights attached to each category are distinct. Being a volunteer, beneficiary, donor or participant is not the same as being a member.
