Joining DAISY - The DAISY Consortium

The DAISY Consortium exists because of its members and their valuable contributions.

DAISY offers a variety of membership levels suitable for everyone:

• Full Membership
• Associate Membership
• Inclusive Publishing Partners
• Friends
• Individual Supporters

Full Members are non-profit organizations that produce and/or distribute accessible (multi)media for people with print disabilities.

Individual organizations can become Full Members or membership may be shared among two or more organizations.  Several organizations which represent a geographical region or language group may collaborate, combining their resources to become a Full Member. These organizations act and speak with one voice within the DAISY Consortium.

• organizations with the desire and resources to steer the development and implementation of accessible standards
• organizations dedicated to furthering the worldwide movement toward accessible information for all
• large libraries serving many people with print disabilities
• organizations interested in developing new technologies
• large organizations active in the field of education and of producing accessible (learning) media/materials for all groups of disability

• Annual fee: 35,062 USD
• When joining in the second half of a year: 50% of the fee (17,531 USD)

Note: Full Memberships become effective on January 1st or July 1st of a calendar year. The admission of Full Members will be decided by resolution of the General Meeting by open ballot; see the DAISY Consortium Articles of Association for details.

Please contact the President/Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer for additional information about becoming a Full Member or to apply for Full Membership.

Associate Members of The DAISY Consortium are non-profit organizations that produce and/or distribute accessible media for people with print disabilities or may serve the community in other related ways. This latter group includes large educational institutes wishing to participate in the Consortium at this level, associations representing individuals with a print disability, or other service providers. Associate Members share the Full Members’ dedication to the worldwide DAISY movement but may serve smaller populations or have fewer available resources.  Associate Members in developing countries benefit from the Consortium’s tiered membership fee structure which is based on the World Bank classifications (determined by the per capita income of the country).

• smaller libraries and organizations which are committed to the Mission and Vision of the DAISY Consortium
• organizations wishing to help shape the direction of the DAISY Consortium
• organizations which want to participate in the DAISY Consortium working groups and technical developments (to the level financially feasible in their organisation)
• libraries and organizations which do not have the financial resources to commit to Full Membership
• universities and colleges, and accessible materials development centres, especially those providing materials to multiple campuses
• libraries and organizations wishing to learn more about the DAISY Consortium with a goal of potentially committing to Full Membership

Associate Members may join at any time during a calendar year.  The President will decide as to the admission of Associate Members. See the DAISY Consortium Articles of Association for details.
