Membership

IERG is a collegial organization comprised of highly accomplished business leaders. By joining IERG, members have privileged access to this select community, and in exchange are expected to engage with the community and share information, referrals and camaraderie with other members without expectation of direct personal gain. When a member phones, the call is always taken, and relationships are based on generosity and kindness. IERG members exemplify business networking at its best.

Given that IERG is a member-driven organization, members are expected to volunteer their time and expertise in some way. Without member participation, IERG cannot operate. In addition to benefiting the organization, involvement enriches the member experience and multiplies the rewards of membership.

Members are also expected to introduce qualified candidates who embody the international and collaborative ethos of the organization and express an interest in membership and intention to participate and contribute to the group.

Membership Criteria and types of Membership

Who is IERG?

Membership through Sponsorship

Membership in IERG is through sponsorship by current members and is focused on senior executives who have leadership experience outside of their home countries.  Aspiring members are invited join IERG because they appreciate a community of peers with the sophistication and global perspective that results from having lived and worked in a foreign culture.

In all other ways, IERG embraces diversity and actively seeks to maintain a membership that represents the broadest range of cultures, functions, industries and other experience.   This unique breadth brings a special richness that enhances the group's professional, cultural and intellectual exchanges.

Aspiring members are nominated for membership by a current member.  Attendance at an in-person chapter meeting is expected if the candidate lives within a reasonable distance of a chapter.  The aspiring member will also be interviewed by one or more current members to ascertain seniority, international experience, willingness to contribute, and general fit.
