What is a federation?
A federation is a higher-level organization that unites multiple associations, districts, or regions under one umbrella. It enables structured collaboration, joint communication, and unified organization. This allows important information to be distributed centrally, appointments to be coordinated, and work between associations and higher-level structures to be efficiently coordinated.
How can an association join a federation?
For an association to join a federation, there are the following options:
Association submits membership request
The association searches for the desired federation on the platform and sends a membership request. A leader at the federation level can accept or reject this request.
Federation invites association
The federation searches for the association and sends an invitation. The association leader can accept or reject this invitation.
What happens after an association joins a federation?
If the membership request to a federation was answered positively or the invitation to a federation was accepted, this has the following effects for the association:
The association becomes part of the federation structure.
The federation can communicate directly with members and leaders via messages.
The members of the association can be invited to federation appointments.
