Membership
Membership MEANs
A common means of membership payment is via attendance of CICE conferences. That is, the CICE conference registration fee includes IIFC membership for the two years following. For example, attendance at CICE 2018 covered membership for 2019 and 2020. Attendance at CICE 2020/2021 will therefore cover membership for 2022 and 2023. The IIFC Executive has made the decision to gift 2021 membership to all IIFC members (provided one is already a member of IIFC) on account of the disruption caused by COVID-19. For those who have paid their membership directly to IIFC for 2021, you too will be gifted membership for 2021 and hence any current membership in accrual will be deferred.
Annual Membership Fees
The following membership fees are for a two-year period:
- Fellows: US$ 100
- Members: US$ 100
- Student members: US$ 25
- Patron members: US$ 300
Membership fees are due on February 1st of the first year of the two-year period.
Attendance at the IIFC official CICE conference will cover IIFC membership fees for the two years following the conference. For example, attendance at CICE 2020 will cover membership for 2021 and 2022. If you are joining in a non-CICE conference year, or if you have not attended the latest CICE conference, then you can join or renew.
