Only one organization in each country can be a National Entity Member of World Crafts Council Asia Pacific, and only this National Entity represents the country with full voting rights.

The National Entity can be an NGO, an association of craftspersons, a trade organization, an association of trade organizations, a promotional institute or a national committee. It is very essential that this organization (the National Entity) is a representative of the traditional crafts or applied arts in that country.

After their membership to World Crafts Council Asia Pacific Region is accepted, the new National Entity member will have to apply to World Crafts Council International for membership to WCCI. In this regard, they can contact Mrs. Maria Celina Olea Rodriguez at wis@wccwis.cl.
