Membership in the International Council of Fine Arts Deans is open to post-secondary institutions that foster the practice and/or study of the creative arts. ICFAD does not discriminate against any institution or person on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin, age, sexuality or disability. ICFAD memberships are non-refundable, but are transferrable to other individuals as the membership belongs to the institution/organization. Annual membership is from January 1 to December 31.
INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERSHIP - ($350) - is held by the chief executive arts administrator of the academic unit or a designee on behalf of the institution. This membership receives the full benefits of the organization and holds the voting privileges of the unit.
Recognizing that some institutions organize the arts disciplines into separate schools or colleges, with each reporting directly to the Chief Academic Officer, ICFAD also invites membership from institutions that have other administrative structures. In instances where institutions have more than one institutional representative, each Institutional Representative has one vote.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP - ($100) - is held by additional academic arts administrators (associate deans, assistant deans, etc.) on behalf of the institution whose unit holds an Institutional Membership. The Associate member receives the full benefits of the organization, including discounted membership conference registration, but would not have voting privileges. There is no limit to the number of Associate members from any unit holding Institutional Membership.
AFFILIATE MEMBERSHIP - ($200) - is granted to individuals who do not meet the other membership criteria but for whom membership is deemed appropriate and beneficial to the organization by the Board decision.
EMERITUS is awarded by the Board to ICFAD members in good standing who have served as deans and associate deans and have retired from higher education or have returned to the faculty. Emeritus Recognition shall have the same rights, privileges and obligations as Associate members.
