IVFSA Application for Membership
Applications are reviewed by the Executive Officers as they are received. To be considered for membership, all applications must be completed in full and be accompanied by two letters of reference, each with an IVFSA Reference Form. If you are submitting for student membership you do not need to submit letters of reference, but must attach a copy of your transcripts showing current enrollment (unofficial copies are acceptable). If the application is approved, a check for the appropriate membership fees will be requested. Applications can be submitted via this form. The most current information must be included on this form and each section must be completed. All application materials must be in English. Please attach a summary of your professional background, resume, or curriculum vitae. DO NOT write "See resume or curriculum vitae," or your application will be returned. If you have questions or need assistance, please email administration@ivfsa.org.
