How Do I Become an Associate of the Society?

If you are not eligible for a Deputy membership, but would like to network and partner with leaders in risk management, keep abreast of industry trends, and participate in local Chapter activities, you may be interested in becoming an Associate of the Society.  This membership is available to vendors or service providers such as:   broker, lawyer, consultant, account executive, TPA, etc.  This is an individual status and not to be confused with a Deputy of a Member Corporation.  Associates of the Society may not vote or hold an elected office.  They may, however, serve as an Associate Advisor to a committee.
