IFSO is a membership organisation with each member of more than four months having one vote in their annual elections. Membership to IFSO costs €20 for one year and includes an invitation to the annual IFSO conference.
Membership fees are used to cover the running costs of IFSO, to fund their annual conference, to host stalls at related trade shows, and to facilitate their work educating the law makers, educational bodies, individuals, and businesses of Ireland. A large member base also gives them a louder voice when talking to these groups.
