The Member Get a Member Program is Back!

What is the purpose of ISACA’s 2024 Member Get a Member program?
ISACA members are our greatest assets and significant contributors to the value of ISACA membership. Every time you recruit a new member, you strengthen ISACA. A vital and growing association means greater recognition of the profession, improved educational and networking opportunities, and the advancement of the IS/IT audit, control, security, cybersecurity, risk, privacy and governance profession worldwide.

Can I refer myself to earn recruitment credit?
No, you may not refer yourself. To earn credit for The Member Get a Member program, you must be an ISACA member and recruit individuals who are not current members.

My recruit did not enter my ID; may I still get credit for recruiting this colleague?
No, if your colleague did not use your ISACA ID number, you will not earn credit for recruiting that individual. For you to earn recruitment credit through The Member Get a Member program, your colleagues must enter your ISACA ID number when joining. If you do not know your ISACA ID number, you can locate it by logging into isaca.org/login, clicking MyISACA, and selecting the Membership Status tab or by contacting us at support.isaca.org. You can also access your ISACA ID number by downloading your ISACA digital membership card. To get started, visit https://www.isaca.org/myisaca/digital-membership-card.

I am an ISACA Student Member; may I recruit new members?
While we encourage you to spread the word about the value of ISACA membership, ISACA Student Members are not eligible to participate in the 2024 Member Get a Member program (i.e., no credit is given recruiting). ISACA and local chapters offer students other opportunities including special membership pricing and special promotions.

I am a current ISACA Member; may I recruit new Student Members?
While we encourage you to spread the word about the value of ISACA membership, credit for new members who join during the 2024 Member Get a Member campaign is limited to new Recent Graduate and Professional Members. ISACA and local chapters offer students other opportunities including special membership pricing and special promotions.

If I encouraged my colleague to join ISACA before the 2024 program start date, can I get recruitment credit?
To earn recruitment credit through ISACA’s 2024 Member Get a Member program, your colleague must be a new member of ISACA who has referenced your ISACA ID number during the membership application process between 1 August 2024 and 31 December 2024.

How will I know if I have successfully recruited a new member?
After ISACA verifies your recruited colleague(s) have successfully joined ISACA and entered your ISACA ID number on their membership application, you will receive an email notification at the end of each month to inform you of the number of new members you have recruited.

When will I receive my reward/incentive if I earned one?
All rewards will be distributed by 15 March 2025.

How will I receive my reward?
Rewards will be issued electronically by 15 March 2025 from the Membership Experience inbox (membership@isaca.org). ISACA uses Tremendous as our reward distribution partner. You will have the option to accept a Visa gift card or donate the amount to a charity (from a select list authorized by the gift card vendor.)

Please note the following exceptions:

• Recruiters located in China (including Hong Kong), Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia will select between a digital PayPal gift card or charitable donation through Tremendous.com.
• Recipients located in Lebanon, Thailand and Libya will receive a credit to their ISACA account to be applied to a future purchase of choice.
• Recipients located in India will receive a digital Visa gift card in Rupees (INR). The currency conversion from the prizes listed in USD will be calculated at the time of distribution (by 15 March 2025.)
• Recipients in other locations where reward options from Tremendous are not accepted will receive a credit to their ISACA account to be applied to a future purchase of choice.

I know several great new members, but I am prohibited or would prefer not to receive rewards. Can I still participate?
Yes, the digital rewards link also will offer the option to choose a charity to donate to in lieu of accepting a gift. Alternative prizes will not be considered.
