Issuer memberships are for those responsible for the design and/or administration of internal employee stock plans. Service provider memberships are for those providing services and solutions including sales/marketing professionals, law firms, and consultants.

Both membership types offer the same access to benefits. Team membership provides the best value for issuer companies that have multiple stock plan professionals involved in managing any aspect of their plans and wish to support their access to resources and professional development.
