Membership

Eligibility

Our only requirement for membership is that the applicant is practicing investor relations in some capacity at the time of application. Others may subscribe to our newsletter (it includes a monthly job bank) or to our quarterly professional journal.

Please complete our application, which asks for a profile of your professional background and educational needs. We use the data to fine-tune our services, not to screen applicants. We have three categories of membership:

Regular membership, for corporate professionals (e.g., public companies) and for consultant professionals (e.g., investor relations agencies), and associate membership for individuals who work in investor relations service, or vendor firms, such as annual report production firms, securities law firms, and other firms which support the corporate and consultant IR practitioner. About three-fourths of NIRI's members are executives of public companies, about 15% are consultants, and the remainder are vendors, or associate members.

NIRI offers 3 membership categories: Regular, Associate and Academic. Annual dues are $425 for Regular and Associate Members, and $75 for Academic Members, with a $50 application fee for all new members. Please review the following definitions to determine the membership type for which you qualify. You may then request an information package and application online.
