Dear Valued IAPH Members,
We hope you and your team are keeping well under the present circumstances. First of all, we sincerely appreciate your continued support of our association for long years.
The membership dues of IAPH have not been adjusted during the past 25 years. Recent high inflation rates have however made it apparent that a price adjustment of our membership dues is necessary, for our organization to be financially sustainable and healthy. That is why the IAPH Board decided to introduce an indexation of membership dues, linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of Japan and Belgium, the countries where our operational units are located and where we have our main organizational costs.
Starting January 1st, 2023, the annual IAPH membership dues will be indexed to the latest average CPI annual growth rate of Belgium and Japan as of September of the previous year. For 2023, the CPI annual growth rate of 7.138%, taking the average of Japan (3.00%) and Belgium (11.27%) of September 2022 will be applied to the membership dues (source: https://data.oecd.org/price/inflation-cpi.htm). Also, the exchange rates against major currencies will be fixed as of December 9, 2022. Please see 2023 Membership dues for detail information.
This decision by the IAPH Board is part of our ongoing effort to make our financial balance healthy and our organization sustainable. We ask your kind understanding and continuous support for our future, and we trust that these changes will help us continue providing you with value-added services for the years to come.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to [email protected].
Sincerely,
Subramaniam Karuppiah Masahiko Furuichi
President of IAPH Secretary General of IAPH
