This is available to renewing ISPE Members who have been a Member continuously for five consecutive years or more.

Extended Absences from the Industry – Freezing Your Membership
ISPE Members are permitted to “freeze” their membership to accommodate extended absences from the industry for reasons such as medical or maternity leave. Upon freezing your account, you will not receive membership benefits. Memberships may remain frozen indefinitely until you contact an ISPE office to unfreeze it. If you attend a Society event while your membership is “frozen,” the non-member fee will apply unless you unfreeze your membership. When you reactive your membership it will be at the renewal rate. A Member may have one frozen period per year.
