The AIBC has several affiliate categories for individuals who are not registrants of the AIBC but who wish to be connected to AIBC activities. Joining the AIBC as an affiliate may also serve as a stepping stone for individuals who are working towards their registration requirements.
As an affiliate, you are eligible to receive reduced fees on professional development courses, invitations to AIBC events and a subscription to the monthly AIBC Connected e-newsletter. Some affiliates may also be eligible to post on the AIBC Classifieds website. To apply as an affiliate with the AIBC, see application processes and forms under Affiliate Resources.
