Loss of Employment

ISPE understands that there may be times when you are going through a job transition. When you are affected by this type of life change, you may qualify for ISPE’s Hardship Program to keep your membership active.

Your ISPE Membership is portable, so please remember to update your contact information either online or by contacting our office.

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.
