Minimum age

There is no prescribed minimum age for membership in an association. Minors (under age 18) capable of judgement can join an association without the consent of their parents. However, if the membership has financial consequences beyond the means of a young person, minors need parental consent. If an under-age person is to be elected to a committee function, the approval of the legal representatives is necessary because the committee office carries a special responsibility and can imply liability issues.
