Guidelines on Individual Membership
Individual membership is for people who are interested in employee ownership but who would not normally be associated through an “Organisational” membership, be that a company, trade union, educational institution, or consultancy. Principals, owners, managers and officials of organisations with an interest in employee ownership should endeavour to ensure their organisation becomes a member at the appropriate rate.
It is not considered appropriate for individuals to apply as “Individual members” where the company/organisation they are representing would normally be viewed as eligible for membership under another category.
