The ICA Membership Benefits Grid is a reference document developed and updated by the ICA Secretariat and validated by the Executive Board (EB 13-14/03/2023). The Membership benefits package will be regularly updated depending on the strategic orientations of the organisation and will be added as an appendix to the Membership scale of dues presented at the governance meetings.   

The definition of the right holders, learners, and other details are included in the ICA Membership Benefits Grid – May 2024.
