Membership Options

Regular, supporting and student memberships allow full access to the on-line community. Institutional memberships allow your organization to be represented with a brief description in our sponsorship area. Only regular members are permitted to vote and hold board positions. Visitors are welcome to attend one meeting free of charge.

Supporting Member €30 per year.
This membership is ideal for people living out of town or out of the country who cannot regularly attend meetings but wish to support the IWF. Supporting members have full access to the on-line community are welcome to attend general meetings for a drop-in fee of €5.
Institutional Member € 100 per year (membership is held in institution’s name)
Each institution is entitled to send two attendees per meeting. The advantage to institutional membership is that involvement in the IWF can be circulated among the institution’s employees, members, or students.

Student members (with proof of full-time student status) enjoy the same benefits as regular members other than the right to vote or serve on the board.
