Common use of Associate Member Clause in Contracts

Associate Member. The Associate level membership addresses the needs of the core of our members. This membership tier has been created to give access to key our resources, to enable Member organisations to have a voting position in regards to the direction of work and to give Members an active forum on which to work proactively and collaboratively in this topic field. The Associate level membership has been developed for but is not exclusive to brands and retailers. Direct membership benefits are listed in Figure 1.0. Benefits marked in grey are aspirational benefits that will be delivered once the consortium resources can support them and or knowledge gaps are filled by TMC research. During the establishment of new projects, TMC together with the Governance Board, will endeavour to construct projects that suitably address the needs of the Members, but also contribute to the wider knowledge base and solution availability, and will identify the most appropriate project partner to fulfil the required task. TMC through its outreach Affiliate Members, will endeavour to make contact with other research groups carrying out research in the area of microfibre shedding to ensure that new projects undertaken by TMC are complimentary, not repetitive and contribute original knowledge to the area of microfibre shedding.
