This is in the text as a sentence with poor pronunciation. I can't make head nor tail of it as it doesn't seem to make any sense! Any help is appreciated as this is urgent.
Un double parrainage systématique du programme XXX ainsi que d’un membre du conseil d’administration du XXX, exigé statutairement pour toute nouvelle adhésion au XXX,
Thank you
Un double parrainage systématique du programme XXX ainsi que d’un membre du conseil d’administration du XXX, exigé statutairement pour toute nouvelle adhésion au XXX,

Would be good to have the text before and after this part, as the overall meaning is unclear.
If it still doesn't make sense, ask the client or translate fairly literally, word-for-word almost.

: all new members have to have two "sponsors" (referees) and be supported by a Board member - this is a statutory requirement

Thanks! Your version is better, but "statutory requirement" makes it sound government-related, and we don't have that context // I think the full context is required to get the wording exactly right

: Good interpretation of what we've got, but as you say, the B4 and after would help a lot!
