Associate Members

Are you a current Associate member of 51³Ô¹Ï now working toward becoming a Professional member, demonstrating your professional mastery and many years of experience? Here is some information to get you started.

• If you are an Associate member, 51³Ô¹Ï should already have one professional reference document on file. If you wish to use that for one of the three required professional references, you are welcome to list that person as a reference contact again. The 51³Ô¹Ï membership staff will simply allow that person the opportunity to write a quick update.

• Transcripts. With a few exceptions, the 51³Ô¹Ï office should already have your official transcripts, as filed with your Associate application.

• Dues. Professional membership dues are $600 annually. We’ll apply all of your unused Associate membership dues toward Professional membership when your application is complete and approved, so you won’t lose any of your membership dues and there is no need to wait for your current Associate membership year to lapse.

To view the requirements for Professional membership, please go to our Professional Membership information page.

We welcome all qualified IEC applicants and want to make the process as smooth as possible! For questions about transitioning from an Associate to Professional member of 51³Ô¹Ï, contact 51³Ô¹Ï Membership Manager Caitlin Myers at [email protected].
