Quotas
Our association's membership fees are set with the aim of guaranteeing the organisation's financial sustainability, allowing us to continue offering quality services to our members and promoting initiatives that benefit the sector as a whole. The annual quota was established on the basis of a detailed study of the association's operational needs, as well as the economic conditions of the members. This amount reflects a fair balance between the associate contribution and the benefits offered, and can be readjusted periodically in line with the evolution of expenses and the association's needs. The contribution of each associate, through the payment of membership quotas, is fundamental to strengthening and continuing the activities that promote the development and representativeness of our area of activity.
