Members have generously given contributions to a fund that will be used enable some of those who cannot easily afford the annual subscription to gain the benefits of membership. The Council needs to know of individuals who should benefit from this scheme. Do you know of a conservator, conservation scientist or conservation student from a country where the level of income or financial support is too low for the membership subscription to be affordable? If so, please encourage them to contact the IIC office to find out more about the scheme.
Individual or student membership of IIC will be awarded for up to three years, subject to funds being available. Applicants will be asked to fill in a brief form, describing their current situation and reasons for wanting to join IIC. Applications will be considered by a panel of Council members.
The fund is small compared to our estimate of the need and it is quite likely that some deserving applicants will be disappointed. However you can increase the chance of success by contributing to this fund. There will be an opportunity to donate at the same time that you renew your own membership, or you can contribute now by contacting the IIC office.
The application form for the Professional Development Fund can be found here.
