What if my organization paid for my Individual membership? Will my membership transfer with me when I start a new job?
Yes, you will maintain your Individual membership when you start a new job because an Individual membership cannot be transferred to another individual, so you will keep the membership. Please remember to update your contact information by logging on to our website www.ipma-hr.org or contact us at membership@ipma-hr.org.
My organization has an Agency membership and I am one of the covered staff members. Will I keep my membership after I change my employer?
No. An organization that paid for an Agency membership has the right to cancel your membership at anytime and add a new staff member, and a new Member ID number will be assigned to the new member. Your Member ID will stay the same so you can login to our website at the top of our homepage and apply for a new Individual membership or download an application http://www.ipma-hr.org/files/mem_app.pdf and send it to IPMA-HR.
What is IPMA-HR membership cancellation policy?
Your membership will be canceled upon receiving a written request.

I am a part-time student and currently work in the HR field. Am I qualified for a Student membership?
