  How to become a member

All Maronites, local or emigrant – regardless of gender - assuming public responsibilities or occupying prominent posts in both the public and private sectors, whether in the social, cultural, economic, financial or political fields, may join the “Worldwide Maronite Foundation”, through an application submitted to the Board of Trustees. This board is the only one entitled to accept or refuse the application without possibility of reviewing this decision.

Each member accepted will sign an agreement in which he or she accepts to abide and be committed to the rules of the Foundation and its bylaws, and to pay the annual fee throughout the period of their membership.
