Organizational Membership
In order to better support businesses and other organizations in the field of animal behavior, the IAABC now offers an Organizational Membership. Any legally formed and operating business or organization in any country may opt to purchase an Organizational Membership. This membership includes the opportunity to purchase multiple individual memberships at a lower rate, giving managers and owners the opportunity to extend IAABC benefits to their entire team.
Due to the level of additional screening required for organizational membership approval, organizational members actively practicing in the field with full participation (every behavior team member is enrolled under the organization's umbrella) may be listed in the public Consultant Directory.
