Common use of Authorized Member Clause in Contracts

Authorized Member. An organisation entitled to fully participate in an Agreement, enjoying the same rights and having the same obligations as all other Authorized Members. Such organisations are typically authorities, agencies or institutions which control or are representative of the engineering profession and which have statutory powers or recognised professional authority for admission to the practicing engineering community within the jurisdiction (e.g. country, economy, geographic region). In some jurisdictions and some agreements, the Authorized Member may be an overarching committee with defined constitution that oversees or monitors registration, licensure or equivalent recognition schemes operated by other entities or a national organization representative of a federation of professional authorities.
