REGULAR MEMBERSHIPS
There are three types of Regular Membership.
Individual Membership
An individual membership is a personal IFPUG membership. It is non-transferable
and the individual retains it regardless of their employer. Individual
members receive IFPUG manuals and mailings and hold one vote within
IFPUG. Individual members cannot copy and distribute IFPUG manuals.
Corporate Membership
Corporate membership applies to a single legal entity, in a single
metropolitan area. A Corporate membership is a non-transferable
membership that covers the legal entity and all the individuals
employed by the legal entity at the geographic location. It permits
all individuals employed by the legal entity, at the geographic
location, to attend IFPUG conferences and workshops at member rates.
Up to two corporate contacts per Corporate Membership may be designated
to receive IFPUG manuals and mailings, and each contact may vote
on all IFPUG business matters.
Additional corporate sites (outside the metropolitan
area but within the same legal entity) may apply for a corporate
membership, which is available at a reduced rate (for each additional
site). Two contacts may be named for each such additional member
site, and each contact shall receive IFPUG manuals and mailings,
and may vote on all IFPUG business matters.
Worldwide Corporate Membership
A Worldwide Corporate Membership (within the same legal entity)
entitles the member corporation to five to ten (5-10) key contacts, voting
rights for those same five to ten key contacts, as well as all the other
Corporate Membership benefits.
The discounted licensing option allows a WWC to use IFPUG developed course materials and download (and distribute within their own firewall) IFPUG products for 3 years. All materials would be distributed in non-modifiable PDF format. The cost for this option would be a flat 3-year rate of $5,000 ($10,000 non-discounted). If CEP credit is requested, there will be an administrative charge to cover the cost of issuing the certificate.
