Individual membership
Individual membership is open to people engaged in, or otherwise interested in, the profession of logistics and transport, and supply chain management.
When you first join you are graded as an Associate member of the Institute, and this grade has no qualifying criteria to meet. All you need to do is join online and pay the invoice that will be emailed to you, typically within a week.
Please ensure you include the invoice number and your surname in the reference fields. If you have not received an invoice within a week, please email info@cilt.co.nz and copy accounts@cilt.co.nz
Corporate membership
Corporate membership offers businesses and organisations the opportunity to show their support for the Institute at the corporate level. Originally limited to 5 Associates and up to 5 ‘Young Professionals’ (under 35’s) who are employees, these individuals do not have to pay separate membership fees, so there are cost savings to join as a company.
The intention is that by introducing these staff members to the Institute they will appreciate the value of taking up this chance to expand their personal development, and become involved in the Institute’s grading programme over time as individual or Chartered Members. We see this as a way to offer junior or less experienced staff a chance to become involved with the Institute as they develop their own knowledge and skills in transport and logistics.
The rules were subsequently extended to allow one of the Associate Members to be a graded member, thereby giving them access to the full range of benefits of CILT International membership, including voting rights within CILT, access to the International Knowledge Centre and the right to use the post-nominals of FCILT, CMILT or MILT.
Currently there are several corporate member employers which have exceeded the limit of 10 staff members covered by the group’s subscription, therefore the CILT Council has passed a Resolution to expand corporate membership to three tiers, allowing employers to choose the level that best suits their aim of involving staff in CILT activities that will benefit their careers – forums, local events, meetings and international webinars addressed by top professionals in the transport & logistics industry from around the world. The new tier structure is as follows:
Tier 1: Annual subscription of $4,480, providing an entitlement to 10 graded members, 10 non-graded members (“Corporate – Associate”) and 15 Young Professional members (“Corporate – Young Professional”) – 35 members in total.
Tier 2: Annual subscription of $2,240, providing an entitlement to 5 graded members, 5 non-graded members and 10 Young Professional members – 20 members in total.
Tier 3: Annual subscription of $895, providing an entitlement to 1 graded member, 4 non-graded members and 5 Young Professional members – 10 members in total.
Note: Fees are GST-exclusive.
To establish a new corporate membership, all an employer needs to do is click “Register your Corporate Membership here”, complete the form, selecting the desired Tier for their group, and pay the invoice that will be emailed to you, typically within a week.
Please ensure you include the invoice number and your company name in the reference fields. If you have not received an invoice within a week please email info@cilt.co.nz, cc accounts@cilt.co.nz.
After paying the invoice, please email info@cilt.co.nz advising all individual staff names to be included under the group, then ask them to: ”register themselves online”, selecting the “Corporate associate” option. We will add them to our database to ensure that they receive all communications from CILT, as for individual members.
To amend an existing corporate membership (i.e. add or delete staff) at any time, please email info@cilt.co.nz with the required changes and include new members’ emails so they can be contacted to register online.
