If you are looking for an individual membership, join online here. You can also open this step-by-step document that will walk you through the process. 

For group and corporate memberships, contact our member relations team at member_relations@iabc.com.

A membership can be transferred to another person within a company. However, the following criteria must be met:

• The original member must have at least three months left on the membership and the membership must be a group or corporate membership, not a 500 Club, student, retired, or other type of lifetime membership.
• The original member is no longer with the company.
• The employer sends a formal email request to member_relations@iabc.com to transfer the membership.

Please include current information of the new member, including name, title, phone number, email and mailing address, and the name and member ID of the original member.

On July 20, 2021, IABC migrated to a new system and all members were notified about resetting their password. If you need to reset your password, you may do so here: https://members.iabc.com/my-account/my-profile/. 

Dues vary based on your chapter and country. See our dues chart for details. If you live in an area not represented on the dues chart, please email member_relations@iabc.com with your location and request a dues quote.

We’re really sorry that happened! You can open this step-by-step document which includes instructions on how to renew your IABC membership. If you received an error message, please forward it in its entirety by email to member_relations@iabc.com, explaining the challenge you have encountered. We will get back to you to help find resolution or help complete your transaction by phone to help take care of it as quickly as possible.

IABC bylaws prohibit refunding dues for any reason when a membership terminates or during the membership period. This applied to completing all quarterly payments if this option has been chosen.

To change a chapter, please reach out to member_relations@iabc.com.

You are welcome to join as a member-at-large. When you join IABC, you will be shown a list of chapters so you can choose the best fit for your membership needs. Your chapter is an amazing part of your membership!

Yes, you may join multiple chapters when you purchase your IABC membership. If you already have a membership, you may purchase an additional chapter here. A step-by-step document is available here to walk you through the process. 

Corporate packages are the most affordable and comprehensive way to get year-round professional development based on the Global Standard of the communication profession, so you can build the skills and professional practice of your entire team. Check out all of the details here.

Please reach out to member_relations@iabc.com with your information to get started.

Please reach out to member_relations@iabc.com to receive your discount code and to set up an optional membership orientation for your group. We find that the orientation is one of the most of effective ways to increase the ROI of the membership for both the company and the employee.

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

• Members of a package can be in different chapters across the world. Members of a corporate package are not required to be in the same chapter.
• By committing to two or three years of membership, corporate members can get greater discounts on dues and other products.

You are in your renewal period when your membership expiration date is within six months' time.

If you do not see your chapter when joining or renewing, please check the currency in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. The chapters shown will only be ones offered in that currency.

Groups with five or more individuals on their roster benefit from 15% discount on international dues. Chapter dues remain the same no matter the membership type and can be found one our dues chart.

In December of 2021, we reached out to our 500 Club members with an update that chapter dues would now be charged to all 500 club members. Don’t have chapter dues? We still ask that you renew each year so that we are able to stay up to date on your my recent contact information. There is no fee charged during the renewal process if you do not have a chapter.

For assistance with this or if you are outside of your renewal grace period, please reach out to member_relations@iabc.com.
