The IES’s Global Access Affiliate Program is for nonprofit societies that want to participate in and collaborate with a broad and global network within the lighting community. For organizations which maintain independent memberships and wish to make available IES services to their members, this program allows all individuals from the Member Organization to receive membership services directly from IES.
Participation in the Global Access Affiliate Program requires an annual fee for the Member Organization (USD$3,000), plus an annual fee per individual member (USD$25). Reduced fees are available for organizations based in a country included in the Emerging Country lists: World Bank Low-income, Lower-middle-income, and Upper-middle-income economies.
