      Is membership mandatory?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t

      No, membership is voluntary. You can sign up if you want to be actively involved. All athletes benefit from the Commission's work, regardless of whether they are members themselves. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t

      How much time does membership require?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t

      Before the Games, there are a few virtual meetings. During the Games, you will be on-site anyway, so the additional time commitment is very limited. We plan everything to be manageable! <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t

      Can I still sign up later?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t

      Ideally during Registration for the National Games. However, those interested later can also contact us \u2013 we are open and welcome any commitment! <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t

      What if I'm shy?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t

      That's perfectly fine! You won't be left alone. Mentors will support you, and you can contribute in your own way \u2013 not every task requires public speaking. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\t

      Is there an age limit?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t

      No! Athletes of all ages can become members. We benefit from different perspectives and experiences, which is why we value this diversity. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\t
