Putting your member's card to use

Members were notified in March that IEMA is suspending automatic distribution of the current membership card; a single act that will save thousands of sheets of partially laminated paper a year.

We have taken this decision because as our membership is currently around the 15,000 mark, the impact of our communications and materials (letterhead paper, certificates, membership cards etc) has increased to a point where we must appraise the usefulness of each piece of paper we send out, just as you would expect us to.

We know from the “What do you value” survey earlier this year that members want to see a more modern version of membership ID.

Over the past month, more than 2,000 members have taken the time to let us know via a short survey how they use their card and what alternative they would like to see introduced.

All members will be notified when the new IDs are ready for launch and available to use.
