CORPORATE ADVISORY BOARD (CAB) MEMBERSHIP
Companies and institutions that work in and support systems engineering in government and commercial business sectors gain knowledge, access, influence, visibility, and contacts through membership in the Corporate Advisory Board.

INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP
INCOSE maintains three categories of individual membership: Regular, Senior, and Student. You may select any category for which you are eligible. All members receive complimentary access to INCOSE publications of the SE Journal and INSIGHT. All members of INCOSE may also purchase hard copies of INSIGHT and the Journal at a discounted rate for one membership year. INSIGHT = $20USD and the Journal = $45USD (Regular and Student Members) / $95USD (Developing and Senior Members).

Regular Individual Membership
System engineering professionals from corporate management, government & program management, research & development, science and engineering, business development, and many more – gain technical knowledge, networking, access, and influence from an individual membership . Students studying to become systems engineers or advancing their expertise can benefit from a membership in INCOSE as well. Regular Membership dues are $105USD.

Senior Members
Individual members qualify for the Senior category if they are at least 64 years of age the time of their membership renewal and have maintained their individual membership for the five membership years prior to applying for the Senior category. Senior members also receive a 50% discount on their registration and other program fees for the International Symposium, and the registration fee for the International Workshop is waived. Senior membership dues are $55USD.

Note: Those members who intend to seek Senior member status and take advantage of the discounted fees at the International Symposium must renew their membership prior to registering for the symposium. Senior member status must be confirmed by the Central Office before individuals can register at the discounted rate.

Student Members
Members qualify for the undergraduate Student category if their course load is at least 3/4 of full time in an engineering or related field. (For example, if the full-time student course load is 4 per semester, then the student must be enrolled in 3 or more courses in order to qualify for the student membership rate.)

Graduate Students must meet the same 3/4 of full time in an engineering or related field. (For example, if the institution’s full time graduate schedule is 12 credits, then 9 credits are required to meet the 3/4 requirement, if 6 credits are considered full time, then 4.5 credits are required to qualify for the Student Member rate.) Graduate students must include proof of course enrollment and proof of school’s full time graduate credit policy or a letter on institution letterhead confirming status.

To apply, please complete the membership application and use the mail or fax option to submit along with proof of student or graduate student status in order to comply with the student member eligibility. Student members also receive reduced rates for the registration and program fees for the International Symposium. Student members do not have voting privileges in INCOSE elections. Student Membership dues are $20USD.

Developing Country
Depending on the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) of the country in which you live, you may be eligible for a discount. The President of INCOSE may designate residents of certain countries eligible for reduced annual member dues. A designation is valid for one membership year, and may be extended or cancelled by the President for each subsequent membership year. For residents of the countries designated by the President, members may, but are not required to, avail themselves of the stated discount.

Policy on Transferring Memberships
An organization may provide membership in INCOSE for its own employees or members (hereafter referred to as designees) by making a single payment to INCOSE in the amount of the dues owed for all designees, and providing INCOSE with the name, address, phone number, and E-mail address for each designee. In accordance with INCOSE policy, memberships are not transferable to other individuals, but additional designees can be added with an accompanying payment. INCOSE will address all mailings directly to the designees, except for initial renewal notices which will be sent to the organization. INCOSE shall have the option to solicit membership renewals from those designees not renewed by the organization.
