AFFILIATES

The Concept of Independent Affiliates

​

What ARE Independent Affiliates?  One of the ways WLN offers training to grass roots activists is through organizations which join WLN as "Independent Affiliates."  These affiliates are completely independent of WLN.  Neither WLN nor it's affiliates have any authority to make policy, determine leadership, or otherwise control the other.  If an Independent Affiliate is already affiliated with other organizations, those affiliations remain in place and do not change.

​

What do Independent Affiliates have to do?  Independent Affiliates agree to make WLN training opportunities available to their rank-and-file membership and delegate two of their members to represent their organization on conference calls (usually monthly) and at an annual training conference.  In exchange, WLN offers to provide live training sessions at meetings of the affiliate, makes special on-line training resources available, and offers special seating and pricing to special paid WLN events such as conferences.

​

How Does An Organization Become an Independent Affiliate?  An organization wishing to become an WLN Independent Affiliate needs only to submit a completed "Independent Affiliate Form" signed by an authorized member of that organization.  The form is not a contract in the usual sense.  It exists only to document and define the relationship between WLN and the affiliate.  There is no cost.  Just fill it out, sign it, and return it.​

​

An organization becomes a WLN Independent Affiliate when WLN has received, accepted, and acknowledged a completed form and ends when either side decides to terminate it in writing.  This form may be downloaded as shown at right or by clicking HERE.  It can be filled out, signed, scanned, and emailed to execdir@westernlibertynetwork.org or snail-mailed to Western Liberty Network, 7100 SW Hampton, Suite 201, Tigard, OR 97223.
