Frequently Asked Questions from Potential Members
If
you have a question that is not answered below, we encourage you to contact our
Membership Department at membership@iedconline.org or (202)
223-7800.
What types of membership are available?
IEDC membership is
organization-based – ranging from nonprofits to consultants and everything in
between – with individual members acting as representatives of their
organizations. As such, we only offer individual memberships for students and
those who are retired or in between jobs. A complete list of membership categories and accompanying dues is
available to view online.
Upon joining, when will my membership expire?
Your membership
will expire one year from the date we receive and process your application. If
you have questions about your membership status, please contact our Membership
Department at membership@iedconline.org or (202)
223-7800.
When will I receive my new member kit, along with my username and
password?
Expect your new member kit in the mail two to three weeks after
IEDC receives your membership application with full payment. You can receive
your Web site username and password within a week of payment processing by
contacting our membership department at membership@iedconline.org.
Will my membership information be kept confidential?
Membership
information collected by IEDC remains confidential. Your email or postal address
may be sold or shared with our partners for marketing purposes, but you can opt
out of having your addresses shared at any time by contacting our Membership
Department.
My previous employer was a member of IEDC, but my current one is not.
Can I transfer my membership?
Since memberships in IEDC apply to
organizations – with individuals acting as representatives of these
organizations – your membership cannot be transferred if you leave the member
organization.
I am currently in between jobs. Is there a membership category that
would apply to me?
Yes: the Retired/Between Jobs membership is available
for an annual fee of $95. Your membership will last for one year, regardless of
when or whether you find a new job. Once this year is up, however, the following
conditions apply:
- If you have not found a job, you may renew your membership as a
Retired/Between Jobs member
- If you have found a job, your employer must become a member of IEDC (with
you as a representative), or your membership expires
I am retired and no longer active in the economic development
profession. Can I still be a member?
Yes: the Retired/Between Jobs
membership is available for an annual fee of $95.
I am currently a student. What types of documentation are acceptable
to IEDC as proof?
The most convenient form of documentation is a
photocopy of your current student ID. You can include this photocopy when you
mail us your application. If you apply online, please fax a copy to (202)
223-4745, Attn: Membership Department.
