For Associates accredited by the IIB

As an Associate, the resources of this website are for your benefit, especially the Officer's Club- even if you do not yet qualify to be a part of it. Why is that? Well, just as much as Associates benefit from their IIB Regional Groups, executive officers of regional groups benefit from working together, and sharing ideas.

Your regional group executive, are just like you:

• They too, are busy business people who struggle to find the time
• They are also running their practices, and time is precious
• Your regional group officers face the unenviable challenge of developing and maintaining a stimulating group, made up of independent practitioners who are all senior business people. Now that is a challenge!

The benefits of being involved in your regional group are many. These are just a few:

• You develop a close relationship and understanding of those Associates with whom you are most likely to work with, in a geographical sense.
• Some Associates are not so good at promoting themselves and their skills to their peers. By networking with them you can discover how they can help you and your clients. Those lacking presentation skills can get help and support from their peers.
• Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is not just interesting and stimulating, it is essential to stay at the top, and to be well informed. You cannot afford to be seen as out of touch by clients, or your fellow Associates.
• Successful Associates sharing their successes and opportunities, stimulate ideas for the benefit of all.
• And when, in those rare occasions that something goes wrong, you have a complaint about the professional conduct of another Associate, your regional group is there to help. It can try confidential dispute resolution, or assist you in filing a complaint to the Professional Conduct Committee.

Please support your IIB Regional Group, it exists for your benefit! If you are new and feel you cannot yet become involved in helping, remember that well-established Associates are heavily involved in the management of businesses, companies, and clients, and give their valuable time for your benefit.
