Pay It Forward! IEST Gift of Membership

Many people who would greatly benefit from being part of IEST are unable to join due to financial barriers. Membership fees aligned with U.S. pricing may be unaffordable for individuals in other regions due to differences in income and cost of living. Young professionals at the start of their careers or those without employer-sponsored membership often have a strong desire to participate, learn, and contribute—but the cost of membership can be out of reach. As a result, motivated and engaged individuals who want to grow professionally and contribute to our community are prevented from accessing the opportunities and connections IEST offers.

The IEST Pay It Forward Program makes it easy for existing members to cover the cost of membership for those who want to join IEST, but face financial constraints.

How does it work? 

Help support IEST Membership through our dedicated IEST Pay It Forward Membership Program. You can choose to help fund membership for one or more individuals in need (in the amount of $210/per membership). The funds from this program will be used to cover the cost of membership fees for a limited number of individuals each year who apply for the IEST Pay It Forward Membership Program. If you know of someone who you think could benefit from the program, and would like to cover the cost of their membership, please mention their name in the notes when you complete your purchase.  

Who can apply for the IEST Pay It Forward Membership Program?

  • Those who are new to the industry
  • Those not currently employed but actively seeking a role in the industry
  • Those working in the industry but without company financial support
  • Instructor or Staff for applicable field of study at post-secondary school
