Membership

Membership is available for all, regardless of race, color, religion, nationality, or language, who are passionate about water and environmental sustainability. Members should be at least 16 years old. The organization consist of 2 membership types: Professional and Student Members. All members are entitled to pay annual fees depending on the type of membership they want to be considered for in the organization.

Professional Members: Any individual having an interest and supports the mission, vision and objectives of the organization may be admitted by the headquarter officer or board as a normal member, subject to approval in accordance with the bylaws of the organization.

Student Members: Any student who supports the mission, vision, and objectives of the association and
demonstrates passion and desire to work and share their knowledge to promote the successful implementation of our goals.

Our Membership gives you the practical work experience that is recognized and validated within the outputs and deliverables published under the organization. Please keep in mind that all membership types can only be granted after completing the EKCÖLAB certification training for Environmental and Water Sanitary Inspectors (EWSI).

Membership in EKCÖLAB enables practical ongoing and facilitated work experience through the organization’s ongoing initiatives and activities in addition to collaboration opportunities. Due to the practical collaborative focus between EKCÖLAB and its members, there are limited slots for membership each year for each country in which EKCÖLAB is active. Stay tuned for the annual Certification Training and related announcements through our social media accounts or website to not miss out on the opportunity to be a leader in EKCÖLAB’s ongoing initiative and active countries or leading operations in a prospective country.
