Frequently asked questions
Yes! You can join as a sponsored individual member, where your employer covers the cost of your membership as part of their commitment to supporting your professional development.
How it works
To join us as a sponsored individual member, complete the form and we'll do the rest! We’ll send an invoice directly to your organisation, which can be paid by BACS or credit/debit card. You will need a purchase order (PO) number when you complete the form to request an invoice.
We’ve created a handy downloadable template you can use to request your employer's support. Investing in your membership helps you stay connected to the latest thinking in evaluation while expanding your skills and professional network.
Management of Group Membership
The Group Owner can request to add/remove/swap the named people on their list. Once changed, any reinstated person is paid at the current full member rate.
Additional named members can be added and paid for at any time within the organisation’s group membership period. These additional members will be renewed at the same time as the organisation’s main group renewal and their membership fee may be pro-rated based on how much of the membership term remains.
Contact us for more information about group/organisational membership.
Group Membership applications must be processed directly by our staff team. To apply, simply submit your completed application form and make payment by credit card or request an invoice - you will need to have a purchase order (PO) number before you can request an invoice. Please note that all membership fees are non-refundable.
