Annual Fee

The Institutional Membership represents an exceptional opportunity for any organization dedicated to providing its personnel with many of the ISCB benefits offered throughout the year, particularly in the areas of education, recruitment and networking.
Restrictions
An ISCB Institutional Membership is not an endorsement of the institution in any way, and the Institutional Membership organization explicitly agrees not to advertise, promote or make this membership known in such a way as to imply any endorsement from ISCB. If ISCB, at its discretion, perceives the membership is presented by the organization as an endorsement, ISCB reserves the right to invalidate the institutional membership immediately, without obligation to refund fee(s) paid to-date.
