Do I have to have the CMC designation to be a member?

No, IMCNZ is an inclusive organization. Whether you have the designation, are currently pursuing or are interested in pursuing the designation, or even if you don''t think the designation is of interest to you, we welcome you to our Institute. We are the voice of all management consultants. But every CMC is required to be a member of an Institute of Management Consultants that is affiliated to the International Council of Management Consulting Institutes (ICMCI).

Again, our membership base covers a wide range of areas. We currently have consultants working in several service areas serving clients in many different industries.
