SIOP members can now join international organizations the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology (EAWOP) and the International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP) Division 1, Work and Organizational Psychology, at reduced rates thanks to an agreement aimed at promoting collaboration between SIOP and these two societies.
Following the Leading Edge Consortium October 18, the SIOP Executive Committee approved a special discounted International Affiliate rate ($50US) for members of EAWOP and IAAP-Division 1. EAWOP and IAAP-1 will reciprocate in the very near future by offering discounted memberships to SIOP members. This allows SIOP members to receive EAWOP and IAAP publications and other member benefits.
The details of this agreement are as follows:

EAWOP offers to SIOP: Associate Membership at a discounted rate of 65€ (savings of 10€). Benefits include online practice journal and European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology. This offer would make SIOP members eligible for Congress registration at regular rates.
IAAP-Division 1 offers to SIOP:
Reduced Membership at $50US. Benefits include:
- A subscription to Applied Psychology: An International Review
- The IAAP newsletter
- Reduced conference registration fees specially to the International Conference of Applied Psychology. Held every 4 years, the conference is the most international scientific and professional congress for applied psychology
- Reduced subscription rates on many journals
- The opportunity to join Division 1 and another division of the 16 IAAP divisions and obtain the benefits and services of both divisions (newsletter, etc.)
This agreement is part of SIOP President Gary Latham’s international initiative to collaborate with EAWOP and IAAP-1, and marks the beginning of expanded collaboration between the three organizations. The partnership with EAWOP and IAAP-Division is the first of three goals Latham has set for SIOP. These goals were also the topic of his first presidential column in TIP, July 2008.
The respective president, past president, or president elect of the three societies will meet on an ongoing basis at each other’s conferences to ensure the ongoing implementation of the collaboration. SIOP leadership will meet with IAAP-1 and EAWOP leaders at the New Orleans annual conference in April, where an official signing ceremony for the agreement is expected to take place. The leaders will then meet in May of 2009 at the EAWOP conference in Spain.
