Membership application: The IIAT membership application is available as a downloadable pdf document—to read this document you need the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Membership dues: IIAT dues are based on the number of full-time (20 or more hours per week) agency employees, including owners/shareholders, at all locations, with an additional per-location fee for agencies with branch offices. IIAT's fiscal year is Sept. 1—Aug. 31; therefore, your initial membership fee will vary depending on the month you join IIAT. Your membership will be paid through August. If you join in June, July or August, your membership is automatically effective through August of the following year.
