The board of Small size is delighted to announce a new fee structure for the network into the future. At a recent members’ meeting, the decision was made with 100% agreement to introduce a reduced fee for members in low-income countries around the globe. The purpose of this new fee structure is to increase membership and to welcome new members who are active in the early years performance sector, or who would like to be, but are currently prevented from applying for membership due to the single fee option.
From January 2027, new members from these parts of the world may avail of a reduction to 20% of the current entrance and annual fee. Small size will adhere to the World Bank guidelines to determine which countries will be eligible. This practice is already in operation for ASSITEJ International.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be able to deliver this initiative,” says President Barbara Kölling, “it will be so important to the network in terms of accessibility for new members and to extend our global reach. I am very thankful to the current members who voted in unison on this matter. It is exactly how a network should function!”
