ICE offers four categories of membership:

Organizational Members consist of Associations, Certifying Organizations, Consumer Groups, and Government Agencies.  $665 per year.

Sustaining Members are providers of services or products to organizations and include Testing Companies, Consultants, Publishers, Public Relations and Marketing Companies and others.  $2,755 per year.

Affiliate Members are consultants who provide limited services to credentialing organizations. Examples of members who may join under this category include self-employed consultants, lawyers, accountants, psychometricians, education and seminar providers.  $1,325 per year.

Individual Members are those individuals who do not meet eligibility requirements of other categories. This may include additional representatives from member organizations (currently limited to two representatives per member organization).  $335 per year.

An organization may join ICE at any time whether or not it has any programs accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).  Although ICE supports the NCCA accreditation program, ICE does not require its members to have their programs accredited. ICE is a membership organization serving the entire credentialing community. 

If you are joining mid-year ICE staff will be pleased to discuss pro-rated membership rates with you.  Please call for more information.
