Changes to membership fees
After a three-year freeze on membership fees, a below-inflation increase will apply to the renewal of some membership levels from 1 June 2013
Annual renewal rates for Affiliate, Associate, Full and Fellow membership grades will rise by £10.75 on average. Fees for Student and Graduate renewals are unaffected to ensure that the Institute continues to welcome and retain emerging environmental talent. The table below provides details of the new fees as well as associated changes to the administration fees for the Chartered environmentalist qualification.
Members whose annual renewal payment is due in June will have already received their renewal advice with details of the updated fee.
