Compare IGAPA's Corporate Council and Individual Fellows enquiry routes, review the published ethical standards and confirm the current requirements with the secretariat. Sending an enquiry does not confer membership or accreditation.
For multinationals requiring direct legislative impact.
For senior professionals seeking certification.
This is an initial enquiry. Eligibility, any applicable fees, supporting documents and review timing can be clarified with the secretariat; submitting the form does not confer membership or accreditation.
The published Corporate Council route is intended for organizations exploring government affairs participation, while Individual Fellows is intended for experienced professionals. These are enquiry categories, not proof of eligibility or a promise of a particular benefit. Review the two current tier descriptions and ask which route fits your actual role, jurisdiction and purpose before submitting a request.
Select the relevant route and provide your name and a usable reply email address or phone number. The request goes to the secretariat for follow-up. It is not a membership acceptance, accreditation decision or certificate. Do not include client confidential information, passwords, personal records or privileged documents in the initial message. Ask how any supporting material should be transferred securely.
Read the published Global Code of Conduct before enquiring. It covers accuracy and integrity, compliance with applicable laws, disclosure of conflicts of interest and protection of confidential information. The code states expectations for members; it does not establish that an applicant qualifies or that membership itself authorizes lobbying in any jurisdiction. Local disclosure and registration requirements must be checked separately.
Ask the secretariat to confirm the current eligibility requirements, supporting documents, any fees, available benefits, review process and expected timetable for the chosen route. If a tier mentions certification or board participation, clarify what those terms mean, who makes the decision and whether additional conditions apply. The brief tier descriptions are not a fee schedule, an accreditation award or a guarantee of outcomes.
Read the IGAPA Code of Conduct, review the governance page and consult the transparency disclosures before enquiring.
