CIC Membership
The CIC’s members make up the Organisation’s Council. Membership of the CIC falls into three categories;
- Members
- Associate Members
- Honorary Affiliate Membership
All new CIC Members, Associates and Honorary Affiliates are approved by CIC Council, based on recommendations from the CIC Board and compliance with the relevant agreed membership criteria.
Only CIC Members are part of the governance and policy setting of the CIC, with subscriptions and Council voting rights scaled to the size of organisation, in recognition of the number of professionals represented in the industry by the CIC member organisations
