WICT Membership Categories

WICT offers four levels of membership: EXECUTIVE, REGULAR, ENTRY and STUDENT.

WICT structures membership dues based on your career level. This tiered system provides a more affordable alternative to those just starting their career journey. Our flexibility in membership pricing offers options from first-hire throughout your career advancement.

Benefit for those members renewing: As an added benefit of WICT membership, renewing members who are in-between jobs may take advantage of deeply discounted dues. For more information on the TRANSITIONAL member program, please contact the Member Services Department at membership@wict.org or call at 703.234.9817 or 9811.
