Membership & Registration Structure

Three Clear Registration Pathways

IAEDM’s public registration is organized around three official organization pathways: National Associations, Regional Associations, and Partner/Affiliate Organizations.

Ministries remain linked to their relevant national/country association. Direct public individual membership remains inactive.

Entity Structure

What each category means.

Regional Associations

Regional Associations coordinate multiple national/country associations and remain separate from departments and ministries.

National / Country Associations

National Associations represent countries and serve as the correct home for ministries in that nation.

Ministries

Ministries stay under their relevant National/Country Association and are not treated as global partner organizations by default.

Partner / Affiliate Organizations

Partners and affiliates are separate collaborating organizations that may operate nationally, regionally, or globally.
