Chapter Membership Guidelines

This section outlines the rights and benefits of being a member of an (ISC)² Chapter as provided by (ISC)² Inc. Please review the following guidelines:

(ISC)² Chapter membership consists of (ISC)² credential holders and non-(ISC)² credential holders. Members of (ISC)² (credential holder) are not automatically members of an (ISC)² Chapter. Chapter membership is completely voluntary and members may join more than one (ISC)²chapter.
Chapter membership dues are determined by the chapter and collected by the chapter. The Annual Maintenance Fees (AMFs) required to maintain an (ISC)² credential are separate from the chapter and are collected by (ISC)².
(ISC)² Chapters are open to anyone except those who have been knowingly convicted of criminal activity or conduct that is considered contrary to community standards of justice, honesty or good morals. Individuals who have been convicted of any crime of violence, fraud, embezzlement, murder, rape or any form of computer crime are ineligible to join.
An (ISC)² credential holder or other security professional who is employed by entities with a conflict, offer a service, or are commercially motivated to promote alternative certifications/training may become a member of an (ISC)² Chapter; but cannot serve as a chapter officer.
A member from another security chapter organization may join as a member of an (ISC)² Chapter; however, an officer from another chapter organization cannot concurrently serve as a Chapter Officer.
Only (ISC)² credentialed members in good standing may hold the required officer positions of President, Treasurer, Secretary and Membership Chair. Although the position of Vice President is not required, the individual holding this position must be an (ISC)² credential holder.
All (ISC)² Chapter members are required to abide by the (ISC)² Code of Ethics. [For more information, visit isc2.org/ethics]
