Organisation Membership
This level of membership is for any organisation engaged in economic development related activity such as local authorities, housing associations, consultancies, charities, large scale construction firms, higher education institutions and so on. Organisation membership provides recognition to your customers and community that you are committed to the highest possible standards in economic development.
Standard
The annual subscription fee for standard organisation membership is £717.00:
- Unlimited number of memberships at all levels for qualifying staff (same qualification rules as for individual membership)
- Organisation logo visible on the website - every organisation member has its logo and a link to its homepage on the iED website
- Your organisation included in the consultants directory (if relevant)
- individual member and organisation recognition
- Subsidised CPD (at iED member rates)
- Subsidised annual conference attendance (at iED member rates)
- Significantly cheaper than individual membership given the unlimited number of individual memberships within the organisation umbrella
- Organisations, through their individual members, gain access to all of the benefits outlined for individual membership including significant discounts on attendance at our CPD events, our national conference and our Jobs Board and ability to input into member blogs/research.
Large Private Company
The annual subscription fee for standard organisation membership, for any large private company (with over 250 employees) is £1,390.00.
This level of membership brings all of the benefits of standard organisation membership, and also offers the key benefit of regular input into our monthly bulletin and other email communications as required.
Partner
The annual subscription fee for organisation partner membership is £3,209.00.
Our Organisation Partner membership is for larger organisations who wish to gain greater access and visibility with the work of the Institute with the ability for instance to input into member events, CPD and networking sessions. It provides all of the benefits of standard organisation membership as outlined above, but with the added benefits of:
- Opportunity to plan, lead and input into member event sessions (online or face-to-face)
- Opportunity to deliver CPD (subject to iED sign off on the course)
- Opportunity to engage/input into local networking sessions
- Opportunity to meet with iED board members on a regular basis
All levels have unlimited membership, but Organisation Partner can input ideas into the events programme, CPD courses and Conference Programme and then have first choice on participating in on-line events and CPD delivery.
