CSCE Branch Policy
The CSCE Board of Directors has adopted a Branch Policy Statement concerning the formation and operations of CSCE Branches. The policy states that any group of 15 or more individual CSCE members-in-good-standing (excluding students) residing in close proximity in a single foreign country or special administrative region who are registered with and paying dues to the CSCE National Office (Montreal) may submit a proposal, with a signed petition, to create a Branch. The applicants should send the proposal and petition to the VP-International for review. If upon review the proposal is deemed acceptable, the VP-International will present the proposal to the CSCE Board of Directors (which normally meets twice a year) for a decision as to whether to create the branch. For further information on CSCE’s Branch Policy Statement, please contact the VP-International.
