Membership

The Association for Managers of Innovation is limited to 200 members with a maximum of two (2) members from any one (1) organization.

PROCESS TO JOIN: The AMI™ membership process requires that an interested professional submit a membership application, to establish his/her match with this network, and attend one meeting to confirm his/her interest in joining. The membership application is then considered by the AMI™ Membership Committee. This committee includes Stan Gryskiewicz and is designed to ensure that applicants meet criteria for admittance. Included in the application is a statement each person is asked to sign endorsing the AMI™ Mission Statement and agreeing to uphold the confidentiality guidelines.

CRITERIA FOR ADMITTANCE: Members include those who have responsibilities for Creativity and Innovation in their organizations. Although no formal training is required, members must have some background in Creativity and Innovation -- in order to optimize the level of discourse, as well as enable their understanding and participation during meetings.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP: Membership is maintained by paying annual dues and by paying tuition for any meetings attended. Special members also pay these costs. In addition, members are expected to foster the Mission of AMI™ on an ongoing basis.

Members will be “dropped” if: 1) they request it; or 2) they violate the confidentiality guidelines; or (3) they do not actively contribute to the discourse of the meeting; or 4) they no longer meet the criteria for admittance; or 5) they are not current on AMI™ dues.
