AIRS is the organization for all I&R providers. Join us!

A single integrated membership structure provides automatic membership to both AIRS and the independent state/regional Affiliate that serves your state/region (if applicable). For example, a Texas-based agency becomes a member of both AIRS and Texas AIRS for the same single price. You get the benefits of both organizations for one membership fee!

NOTE: As all memberships begin on January 1st, any new agency joining after July 1st will pay a partial fee providing membership coverage until December 31st, at which time a full renewal can be made for the following year. If you are based in Canada, AIRS has a joint membership program with InformCanada and applications must be made via www.informcanada.ca.

NOTE: Member benefits are provided only to the direct staff/volunteers of that organization (or in a large governmental concern – a particular department). For example, if you are an association or an oversight body, member benefits cannot flow through to all of the separate organizations that are under your umbrella. If you are uncertain about how the situation of your own organization applies to this guidance, please contact our membership director.

NOTE: AIRS is a private nonprofit association that operates without government funding. Member applications may be subject to review and approval. AIRS reserves the right to terminate the membership of any organization or individual at any time and for any reason.
