Membership Levels

Effective September 4, 2012, iMA’s membership structure now accommodates two ways to be a part of the community:

  • Social Membership: iMA now offers a membership level intended to grow the community of innovators around public media. At the social level, iMA members will have access to all community building resources and benefits, such as premium webinars and the conference and the asset sharing Knowledgebase among others.
  • Strategic Membership: iMA’s traditional membership has always been very strategically oriented around innovation themes for both individual organizations and the entire public media industry. The strategic membership provides access to all iMA service offerings, which includes participation in moderated discussions, targeted education, and workshops at the technical, management, and executive levels within an organization.

Membership Pricing Tiers

Pricing for the two levels is tiered based on the size of an organization or for individuals. For a full description of the benefits at each level, please visit the membership benefits page of our web site. Pricing tiers are based on organizational revenues as follows:

  1. Individuals: pricing is now available for individuals at both levels of membership.
  2. Public Media Stations: pricing is tiered based on Non-Federal Financial Support (NFFS) broken out below. Station NFFS is available through the station’s finance department and is the number used by CPB to determine the annual Community Service Grant (CSG). Note: for joint licensees, iMA uses the larger of the two revenue bases between television and radio.
  3. Non-Station Organizations: pricing is tiered based on small, medium, and large sized organizations defined as follows:
