IIOM International members are the IIOM International directors. IIOM International will also maintain a Register of Obsolescence Management Practitioners who achieve the relevant qualifications and apply to be an Associate, Member or Fellow of the Institute.

IIOM Chapter members join the IIOM Chapter to participate in its activities and / or gain from its services.  There are a number of types of membership; including Corporate (for organisations and companies), and various classes of Individual membership: Fellows, Members, Associates, Students and Affiliates.

All IIOM Chapter members can influence the direction of the IIOM Chapter and IIOM International through their Chapter Council.  The role of each Chapter Council is to ensure that members’ interests are properly represented. Chapter chairpersons automatically become directors on the IIOM
