Hello Peter Thanks for the clarification below - I think I misrepresented what I meant in that I know as a member of ARMA, that the organisation strongly supports the CRM accreditation process - I even remember it being quite prominent in the foyer at the last conference! I did not mean to suggest that in order to be a member of ARMA you require accreditation or vice versa.

You do not have to be a member of ARMA to sit for the ICRM exams. Although I can not speak for the ICRM Board of Regents I will make them aware of this discussion. In addition ARMA's membership structure is based upon chapters or independent memberships ie not affiliated with a chapter. Anyone can become a member of ARMA. Attendance at the annual conference includes a membership if you are not a member. more info about ARMA can be found at www.arma.org -- Peter Kurilecz Richmond, Va
