A Change to IABC's Annual Dues Structure
IABC is moving to an annual dues model to better serve our members. This will allow HQ, Chapters and Regions to focus on member recruitment during two specific times per year and increase capabilities across the board to focus on relationship building and member value.
The transition in dues processing will begin in fall of 2023, with members renewing through 2024 starting this October. In 2024, all members will be transitioned onto this dues cycle, with extended membership available from June-September 2024.
IABC Membership Dues
IABC Member: $280 + Chapter & Region dues
IABC+ Member: $420 + Chapter & Region dues
Early Career Member: $195 + Chapter & Region dues
Campus to Career Member: $70 + Chapter & Region dues
Group Member: $238 + Chapter & Region dues
Student Member: $40
Retired Member: $105
Below is a visual representation of options for an individual IABC membership available for purchase throughout the year.

Recruitment Periods
The year will be broken down into specific time frames:
- October - December 2023: Efforts will focus on recruitment and renewal for 2024 annual memberships. 2023 benefits are included with 2024 membership, and new members receive up to 15 months of membership.
- January - May 2024: A grace period through January 2024 will be honored for renewals. Annual membership will be available on its own, as well as a join and go option through World Conference registration.
- June - September 2024: Extended membership becomes available. Members purchasing an extended membership will be active through 31 December of the following year.
