Criteria & Fees

Membership of the IIM is open to any executive or professional who has made a conscious career choice to be a professional Interim manager. The Application Form to become a member, together with Explanatory Notes, can be found on the Apply to Join page.

Currently there are two assessed grades of membership – Associate and Member - further details of which are set out below.

Membership Fee

Fees are reviewed at the Institute’s Annual General Meeting, which is usually held in May. Any changes to fees agreed at the AGM will take effect from 1st July following the meeting.

The assessment fee is payable on application. The first annual subscription is invoiced once the assessment process is complete. In subsequent years, the annual subscription falls due on the first day of the month following the month in which the first annual subscription was invoiced.

Overseas Members
Members who are permanently resident outside the United Kingdom shall be eligible to pay an Overseas Members' Annual Subscription, which shall be equal to 65% of the annual subscription applicable to their membership grade.

Retired Members
Members who have attained the age of 65 and have permanently retired shall be eligible to pay, at their option, either:

• Annually, the Retired Members' Annual Subscription, which shall be equal to 20% of the annual subscription applicable to full Members; or
• As a one-off payment, a Retired Members' Life Subscription, which shall be equal to the annual subscription applicable to a full Member.

Membership Upgrade
A member can apply at any time to upgrade his/her membership status if he/she believes that they satisfy the criteria for a higher grade. An Application Form must be completed and accompanied by the appropriate upgrade fee. If the upgrade application is successful, the new annual subscription will only apply from the next annual renewal.

Assessment and upgrade fees are not refundable.
