Additional Memberships

Group Membership Package

An organization reaches peak performance when its people are powered by a shared understanding of their challenges and access to the knowledge and tools they need to meet these challenges. NIRI offers reduced pricing for multiple people from the same organization. This is a simplified, cost-effective way for you to provide your entire staff with the best resources to help them perform—and help your company succeed—at the highest level.

The Group Membership Package is applicable to public companies, IR counseling firms, public relations/communications firms, and service providers. Groups are teams of four or more. The first four members will pay $650 each and then every member thereafter pays $300. Please note that it doesn’t matter which individuals pay $650 or $300. NIRI benefits are the same regardless.

To register your team for a NIRI Group Membership Package, please contact memberservices@niri.org to receive a personalized invoice to activate your package.

Retired Membership

Retired membership is open to all regular members in good standing, who have had at least five years of paid membership and have retired from full-time work. (Should a retired member return to full-time employment either as an IR practitioner or a consultant, he or she shall notify NIRI promptly and will be reclassified, according to the appropriate type of membership with corresponding member dues.) Please contact memberservices@niri.org.

Transfer Your NIRI Membership
While NIRI dues are not refundable, individual memberships can be transferred from one person to another within the same company by submitting a Transfer Membership Form. Transfers can be made any time before the final 90 days of a membership term.
