IIRF membership rules
 
Introduction
Membership of the IIRF is normally for professional bodies only and is through election by the governing council, normally at its annual general meeting, under two categories as follows:

Full (voting) membership
Full membership is only available to national investor relations societies, and is subject to election by the governing council under its own detailed criteria, but generally within the following guidelines:
  • Members must be formal groups whose principal aims are compatible with those of the IIRF.
  • Member societies must be comprised principally of companies with publicly-traded securities, or investor relations practitioners employed by or representing such companies, at least some of which must have active international investor relations programmes.
  • If two or more investor relations societies exist in any one country, the IIRF will allow membership by one or more which represent significant groups of international companies.
  • Members must agree to pay all membership subscriptions agreed by the Governing Council (see below).

Associate (non-voting) membership
Associate membership is primarily intended for other organisations relevant to the investor relations discipline and with aims compatible with those of the IIRF. However, IR societies that are unable or unwilling to pay annual membership subscriptions can also be elected as associate members by the governing council if they meet all other membership criteria.
