Membership |
Are you an employee of a company/organization for which you have risk responsibilities?
Your company is eligible to become an Organizational Member of RIMS and you and a colleague (also an employee with risk responsibilities) will be your company’s individual members (we refer to you as a Professional member). Both your memberships are included in the $550 annual Society dues. The membership belongs to the organization, not the individual.
$575 - RIMS Society Dues (includes up to two members).
$190 - for each member after two.
$50 - RIMS Chicago Chapter dues for each member joining RIMS.
Associate Membership

You are eligible for Associate membership in RIMS. Associates have all the privileges of membership except they are not eligible to serve as voting members of Boards or Committees at the Society or Chapter level. Your individual Society member dues are $575 per year*; the membership belongs to you, not to your company/employer.
