Membership Pathways Trial

Mobile slide2Associate Members of the IOR are being invited to help test out a new Membership Pathways initiative that will support your progression towards full Member grading. This will involve preparing a development plan with the help of a member of the IOR Membership Committee familiar with our grading requirements.  This will give Associates a structured plan to increase their experience, responsibilities or qualifications over a period of time, and advance towards full member grade. If you are an Associate member interested in taking part please contact us to find out more.
