Membership
INBA voting membership is for all active and retired electronic news professionals and educators in Illinois or media markets serving the state of Illinois.
Non-voting membership is for associate members in allied fields such as public relations; out-of-state members who would otherwise qualify for voting membership; and student members in journalism-related courses at Illinois colleges or Illinois residents enrolled at out-of-state colleges.
**After applicants submit their payment and application, membership is not final until the INBA Board votes to approve new membership once per quarter**
