Associate members can demonstrate their support for high quality e-commerce and professional standards by participating in association activities and industry groups. Associate members get all the benefits of membership, including discounted access to the monthly industry reports, which are published for Professional and Corporate members. "As we expand our membership around the world and develop industry groups, we want to attract individual members from a broad range of organizations, both large and small," says Nigel Fenwick, President of the International eRetail Association. "The new Associate member program makes the association more accessible to a broader cross-section of industry professionals." All members receive regular email newsletters that summarize industry site news and new eRetail sites as well as providing details on the latest reports and website features.
