Join Us

Membership to the Institute of Association Management is open to managers and senior staff responsible for the management, development and governance of trade bodies, professional institutes, societies, chambers of commerce, voluntary organisations, charities and other representative groups.

As a member you'll receive invitations to our seminars, conferences and masterclasses at reduced member rates throughout the year. You'll also have privileged access to the Institute's member directory, our information-packed industry newsletter, special offers on hotels and venues and key support services such as the legal advice line Law Express. As a member you also have the right to use the designatory letters MIAM or FIAM signifying your commitment to the association management profession.

Most important - you'll be part of a community of association leaders working together to share information, experience and advice - building memberships, engaging stakeholders and raising your profile and influence.
