AIRS Membership: Join Now!
AIRS is the organization for all I&R providers.
A major membership benefit is a free hardcopy and electronic version of the 450-page "ABC's of I&R 2008" for everyone joining at the Enhanced and Premium Levels. This new version includes revisions to the existing material, as well as additional test questions on all subject areas and a new section on working in an I&R call center. The price for AIRS members at the Basic and Standard Levels will be $450 (whereas Enhanced membership costs $500 and includes the ABCs plus other benefits).
There are four membership levels - Premium, Enhanced, Standard and Basic. The greatest cost benefit for most agencies will come at the Enhanced Level.
A single integrated membership structure provides automatic membership for both AIRS and an applicable state/regional Affiliate. For example, a Florida-based agency becomes a member of both AIRS and Florida AIRS for the same price!
Join AIRS and your Affiliate! And for the greater good of I&R at the state/regional and national levels (plus providing more value to your own agency), please strongly consider joining at the Enhanced Level.
If you are an AIRS member and have not received any of the benefits at your particular membership level, please email AIRS Membership Director, Moayad Zahralddin.

Membership Directory
The following Excel file provides a list of AIRS organizational members (This is current as of June 2007 and to be updated in June 2008 - at which time recent members will be included) engaged in delivering either comprehensive or specialized I&R services.
The list is organized by state and then by city. The addresses, phone numbers and web sites reflect the information that was submitted to the AIRS office. In order to link an individual with an I&R service in their community, this is intended to be a helpful interim tool before a more searchable application can be developed:
You should also check out www.211.org which provides more sensitive geographic searching but perhaps fewer overall listings.
