Discover the 'Hidden Gems' of CIRI Membership

A CIRI membership offers significant value through the many Professional Development, Publications and Advocacy benefits. In addition, there are a number of 'hidden gems' included with the membership package. These 'hidden gems' include:

Mentorship Program

New IROs may find the profession daunting at first due to its complex and multidisciplinary nature. That is why CIRI's Ontario, Québec, Alberta and British Columbia chapters offer a Mentorship Program to their members.

These programs pair leading IR professionals (mentors) with those fairly new to IR (protégés) for strategic one-on-one meetings to help the protégé achieve specific career development goals. While working towards the protégé's goals, the mentorship team shares ideas, perspectives and experiences. Each team meets several times over six months.

The Ontario, Québec, Alberta and British Columbia programs offer mentors a rewarding leadership experience, while providing all participants the benefits of connecting with another colleague in the profession.

Volunteer Advisory Network

CIRI's Volunteer Advisory Network is a vehicle where CIRI members help other CIRI members. This resource lists CIRI members with public companies who are willing to volunteer their time and expertise to help other CIRI members on a vast range of investor relations topics.

Refer a Friend Program

Any current CIRI member who refers a new member to CIRI will receive a $100.00 credit.

You are already telling people about CIRI and the many great benefits of membership, so why not reap the rewards from a referral. Direct your prospective referral to CIRI.org to apply online. Once their membership is processed you will receive a $100.00 credit.

This $100.00 credit can be used on your:
  • Annual Conference registration;
  • Essentials of IR registration; or
  • The next year's annual membership renewal dues.

Three-For-One Program

If one company is referenced on three new member applications within the same calendar year, that company will receive either a new CIRI membership free; a full refund on an existing CIRI membership; or a free renewal of next year's dues of an existing membership (both free membership and refund excludes the optional NIRI package).
