====== 13. Reciprocal Agreements ======


===== 13.1 Reciprocal Meeting Registration Rates =====


GSF member associations agree to provide member rates at their events and educational programs to members in good standing of other GSF member associations.

===== 13.2 Reciprocal Presidential Registration Rates =====


GSF member associations agree to provide a complimentary meeting registration for all current member association presidents and complimentary meeting registration for the current GSF President. Member associations, when possible, may provide complimentary, or cost-recovery, registration rates for Past GSF Presidents.   Any other arrangements are at the sole discretion of the member associations.


===== 13.3 Presidential Meeting Attendance =====


Presidential attendance at any GSF member association event in no way implies a position on a member association's meeting program, except for a GSF Welcome/Update message. 

Please see section [[https://wiki.globalspeakersfederation.net/doku.php?id=leadership|4.3.1]] for other association obligations for Presidential Meeting Attendance. 


===== 13.4 GSF Dual Membership =====


All GSF member associations will offer a dual membership category. This category allows active members in good standing of their home association to join another GSF association at a reduced fee, typically 50% of the regular membership rate. 

  - Primary Membership: It is incumbent upon an association to ensure all applicants have been informed of the GSF member associations and the territories they cover. The association tracks that it has encouraged all applicants to join their home association.
  - Implementation Confirmation: It is incumbent upon member associations to confirm the following details during annual GSF membership dues reporting: 
    * the total number of association members,
    * the total number of primary memberships by country,
    * the total number of dual memberships by country,
  - Home Association: the home association is defined as the association that operates in the territory of the address provided by the applicant.


===== 13.5 GSF Members Presenting at Other Association Events =====


Based on a long-standing reciprocity agreement and in alignment with the generosity of spirit of the GSF and its member associations, no GSF member association member shall be entitled to receive compensation to speak at another GSF convention, including fees, travel, accommodation, etc.  Any compensation is at the discretion of the member associations.
