IFPSM Global Membership: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Gain access to international supply chain research and a global network of professionals through the IFPSM membership program.
The IFPSM Global Membership provides professionals with access to a worldwide community and specialized resources focused on the field of supply chain management.
Who it's for
This membership is designed for professionals working within the procurement and supply chain sectors. Specifically, you qualify for this global membership if you are already a member of a recognized national procurement association. It is intended for those looking to expand their professional reach beyond their local borders.
What you get
By joining this network, you gain access to specialized global supply chain research. This can help you understand international trends and benchmark your own professional practices against global standards. Additionally, the membership offers networking opportunities, allowing you to connect with procurement peers and professionals from across the world to share knowledge and industry insights.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee paid to the global federation for this specific membership level. Instead, the cost is handled through your local national association. You will need to pay the membership fees required by your specific national organization to secure your standing and access the global benefits.
The catch to know
The most important thing to understand is that you cannot apply for the global network as a standalone service. The global membership is tied directly to your local membership. You must first join and maintain an active membership with your local national association to be eligible to participate in the global network.
