"EXPRESSING that ELS strives as an independent organisation to support ELSA at all levels of the organisation by contributing to its positive and qualitative growth, by means of fundraising, marketing and other activities;" (from the preamble of the ELS Statutes)
|
Supporting ELSA is an important objective of ELS, and not only according to the statutes. Many members
consider supporting ELSA to be important, rewarding and also fun! It doesn't matter if the supporters are
ELS or individual members, and it doesn't matter what type of support is given. It could be anything, varying
from a member using his or her network to find a speaker for a seminar of a local ELSA group, to ELS
sponsoring the ELSA International Trainers Pool financially, or providing ELS Scholarships to participants of
International Council Meetings.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
One recurrent contribution we
make are the ELS Scholarships, in
which we pay at each ICM all the
participation fees (excluding the
travel costs) for some promising
ELSA members. To know more
about this, you can contact the
Exec Officer of the ELS Trust.
ELS also gives support through
ELS Grant, which are given to
local or national ELSA groups
who wants to organise events
within the scope of the grant.

Grants here
AIDING ELSA ACTIVITIES
Quite a few of ELS members are
ready, willing and qualified to act
as lecturers, trainers, sponsors
or just mere participants at ELSA
events. And even if they are not,
they at least may have their own
networks or knowledge that can
bring you in touch with people
who are.
Also, ELS members work on a
wide array of activities, and their
level of professional expertise can
prove useful for what you might
need at the moment: either is it
revising your Statutes, or getting
your new website up and running!
CONTACTING ELS
If you are an ELSA group in need
of support, you may contact any
of the members of the Exec, or
the ELS Representative of your
country.
All ELS members' contacts and
info are also available for ELSA
through the Directory. To get
access to it, please send an email
to the webmaster for your login
details. Please state the purpose
of you request on the message.
There can be many ways of aiding
ELSA; be creative and contact us
with whatever needs or proposals!
