If you don't want or can't be a FULL MEMBER, then ...

... you have the opportunity to be our SUPPORTING MEMBER or OBSERVER. Being a member of the Estonian Swiss Association is not an obligation but a privilege. We expect all Estonians and their families to join! But we are also happy for each SUPPORTING MEMBER and NEWSPERSON.

​

A SUPPORTING MEMBER is a person who supports the activities of the society financially, but cannot be a member with the right to vote. He or she wishes to be involved in the activities of the SEA but is not Estonian or does not have Estonian roots. A supporting member may be a person who is a Swiss resident and has made a transfer to the SEA's bank account. To become a supporting member send us an e-mail.

​

AN OBSERVER is a person who wants to receive information about the activities of the SEA by e-mail. Maybe she or he is just waiting for the impulse to become a member or wants to follow our activities from a foreign country and is interested in the activities of Estonians in Switzerland.
