Institutional Membership Explanation
An Institutional Membership is paid for by the Institution rather than an individual member. The total cost for an institution will depend on the number of counsellors selected to receive memberships. Each membership is $100 per year, per counsellor.
For example, an institution with a team of 5 counsellors will pay a total cost of $500. The process for purchase is quick and easy online payment.
Contact the Membership Director to arrange payment via invoice.
