Companionship is offered by invitation only. It may not be applied for.
Companionships may be life appointments or tenured appointments for 1-5 years, at IBEM’s discretion.
It is reserved for those who tirelessly contribute to the Institute’s work and/or act as patrons/ambassadors for the Institute.
Companions receive all the privileges of Fellows plus receive the post-nominals CIBEM. Additionally, they may sit on or chair one or more of IBEM’s committees or working groups.
There are no fees attached to Companionship. However, Companions are expected to maintain a highly active role within the running of IBEM and its work.
