Retired membership status is available to IAAO members who have retired from the profession and who have 10 or more consecutive years of membership in IAAO for only $85 per year!

Designations

If you hold a professional designation, there are three options available depending on your plans:
  • Maintain: if you still plan to use your designation as a credential, such as for consulting, instructing, or part time work, you’ll need to maintain annual designation dues and fulfill recertification requirements.
  • Exempt: if you will no longer use your designation as a professional credential, yet want to keep it in an “honorary” status, you can request to place your designation into exemption. This exempts you from annual designation dues and recertification requirements.
  • Relinquish: you can choose to simply relinquish your designation if you continue or end your IAAO membership.
