Honorary members (with voting rights) are delegated by the steering committees of each conference series supported by IAQI. Each conference series may nominate up to 9 honorary members, which have to be confirmed by the General Assembly. The choice of nominees is up to each Steering Committee: they are usually composed of the Steering Committee with additional nominees recruited from local and scientific organisers of the conference. These honorary members are referred to as Conference Delegates. At present, Conference Delegates are the only honorary members. Honorary members do not pay membership fees.
Extraordinary members (without voting rights) are individuals and legal entities such as universities, associations, foundations and companies who support the association financially. Extraordinary members do not have voting rights but may attend the General Assembly, and receive the same information and updates about the association as regular members.
