Organizational Membership
Organizational memberships offer corporations, companies and government agencies the opportunity to purchase an ISSA membership for an employee. Unlike General and CISO Executive memberships, which belong to the employee, Organizational memberships belong to the employer and can be transferred as reassignments occur. When an employee is assigned to an Organizational membership, he or she has all of the rights and privileges of a General Member including the rights to vote and hold office.
With the purchase of 20 or more memberships, your organization will receive discounts of up to 20% and complimentary postings on ISSA’s Career Services Center. You can also synchronize renewal dates for all of your employees to reduce administrative time and expense. All membership dues are non-refundable.
