Membership Plans
We offer two gateways to membership benefits: Corporate and Chairman’s Council.
Corporate membership provides general advocacy support, access to all country- and industry-specific updates, and access to most Council events. In addition to the benefits of Corporate membership, Chairman’s Council membership provides customized support; advocating on company specific issues, providing intelligence catered to your company’s needs, and direct support for stakeholder mapping and setting up meetings with key policy makers/influencers.
