Membership to AIN is established by our organization's Bylaws; however, the membership fee was originally collected while attending our in-person conferences. The organization felt enabling everyone access to pay for membership removes inequities for those members who could afford to travel to an in-person conference. 

Becoming a paying AIN Member allows the organization to continue programming its events, conferences, and networking opportunities. AIN is a 501c(6) registered not-for-profit membership-based organization in the United States. We succeed through the support of its members and volunteers. Membership dues cover the hard costs of our part-time office administrator, website, and operational expenses. 

The cost for Membership is $50 USD a year.

The cost for Professional Membership is $99 USD a year.
