AIRS Membership
AIRS is the organization for all I&R providers. A
single integrated membership structure provides automatic membership to
both AIRS and FLAIRS for a single fee!
You may join as an agency or as an individual -- the price is still the
same. However, for individuals, the membership benefits apply only to
the person concerned and not to everyone within the organization. An
organizational membership covers all current staff and volunteers.
AIRS has 3 levels of membership. For most organizations, PREMIUM
MEMBERSHIP provides the best combination of benefits and cost savings
throughout the year.
Probably the most significant benefit to joining as a PREMIUM member, is
that you receive a free hardcopy and electronic copy of the ABCs of I&R
(value $450). This 620-page publication is updated every year and is the
foundation of all standards-driven I&R training.
