Regular Membership — includes membership with, and benefits from, both ISM and your choice of one of 150+ affiliated organizations. ISM's affiliates offer benefits that include volunteer and leadership opportunities, professional development opportunities, valuable contacts with peers including local networking, educational events, certification preparation and opportunities to accrue CEHs for recertification while taking advantage of member pricing. While most people select an affiliated organization based on their location, non-geographic, industry-based affiliates are available as well. This category of membership is by far the most popular option, comprising 85% of our total membership.

Direct Membership — includes membership with and benefits from ISM only. No affiliate membership is included. This category of membership is generally preferable for those that do not have a geographic affiliate nearby or a non-geographic affiliate within their industry or area of interest. Renewal incentives and automatic membership renewal available.

International Membership — essentially Regular Membership for those living/working outside the United States. This category of membership includes membership with, and benefits from, both ISM and your choice of one of a growing number of international affiliates including Canada, China, Korea, Mexico, South East Asia and more.

Student and Academic Membership — ISM strongly encourages students and academics interested in supply management to join the association. This category offers dues-free membership to full-time students and academics who meet certain criteria.
