Membership Types

(excerpts from InJAC Bylaws)

InJAC will have three membership categories:

• Organizational Members
• Organizational Partners
• Individual Members

Members, both Organizational and Individual, have Membership rights. Membership rights include voting privileges on InJAC decisions, resolutions, and activities.

Organizational Members
Any organization may apply to join InJAC as an Organizational Member.  Organizational members must serve on at least one committee.  They have full membership rights.
To join, the organization must submit a completed Organizational Member application form developed by InJAC that:
Provides contact information for the organization;
Identifies an individual who will represent the organization when voting; and
Verifies the organization’s commitment to helping InJAC fulfill its mission as stated in Article II.

Organizational Partners
Any organization may apply to join InJAC as an Organizational Partner instead of an Organizational Member.  This category of membership has been established to protect Organizational Partners from any conflict that may arise between InJAC efforts/resolutions and the interests of their employer. This situation will occur most frequently when the organization, specifically, a state agency, is unwilling or unable to have formal voting rights in the organization or on a specific issue. 

Organizational Partners must serve on at least one committee and are eligible to serve as committee chairs and vote on committee decisions, except those involving approval of resolutions.  InJAC Organizational Partners will not have voting privileges on general InJAC activities, functions, and resolutions.

To join, the organization must submit a completed Organizational Partner application form developed by InJAC that:

• Provides contact information for the organization; and
• Verifies the organization’s commitment to helping InJAC fulfill its mission as stated in Article II.
• Identifies the individual who will represent the Organizational Partner

Individual Members
Any individual may apply to join InJAC as an Individual Member.  Individual Members must serve on at least one committee. Individual Members will have full membership rights.  Employees or representatives of Organizational Members and Organizational Partners may join as Individual Members if there is interest as an individual beyond the role of an Organizational Partner. This would enable the individual to represent his/her own interests in InJAC.

Meeting Location:  Indiana State Department of Health, 2 North Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN
