Membership

Membership refers to the state of being a member of a group, organization, or community. It involves an individual’s formal association or participation within a defined entity that often has specific purposes, goals, or benefits. Membership can entail certain rights, privileges, or responsibilities, which may vary depending on the organization. Common examples include membership in professional associations, clubs, unions, or online communities, where individuals may pay dues or fees to join and sustain their status. Membership can also provide access to resources, networking opportunities, and a sense of belonging to the collective entity. Furthermore, memberships can be classified as active or passive, depending on the level of engagement required from the member.
