Membership
One modest investment, a full year of value
GIOP runs on a simple model: one annual membership covers the whole year, rather than a separate fee for every event. It keeps the door open to every I-O professional in St. Louis — practitioners, academics, and students alike. And because we can count on that support, we can plan further ahead and keep the programming strong year after year.
As a member, you'll enjoy
- Three complimentary member events each year featuring educational, social, and professional networking opportunities.
- Exclusive member pricing of just $10 for additional GIOP events throughout the year.
- Year-round professional development with consistent, high-quality programming on topics that matter to I-O professionals.
- A vibrant professional community that fosters collaboration, idea sharing, mentoring, and lasting connections.
- A chance to strengthen the profession by supporting an organization dedicated to advancing the field.
