About Benefactor Membership:

Over its history, IARI has depended on many in the community to become benefactor members of IARI, even though benefactor membership does not by itself confer any special benefits or privileges. 

The word benefactor comes from Latin bene (good), and factor (maker). A benefactor is a person who gives some form of help to benefit a person, group or organization. 

It simply allows those who are financially able to contribute a little more towards their community organization than the minimum required for membership. IARI appreciates and depends on this generous support from our community members.

Important Note about Family Membership:

• For the purpose of IARI membership, Family Membership allows 2 members to be registered, Primary member and Second adult member who is at least 18 years old. 
• Please obtain individual membership for all other adult members of your family who wish to take advantage of membership benefits. 
  
• We request you to have a unique email address for the primary member and his/her second family member. Having a unique email address for the members will enable both the member and the second family member allows direct email communication with each member.
