ISTAT Rising Executives Corporate Membership

ISTAT is committed to fostering the next generation of leaders in the aviation industry by providing new opportunities for Rising Executives to engage in its growing network, educational offerings and events.

Companies with at least three current ISTAT members are invited to appoint one "rising executive" or early-career professional with 1-10 years of industry experience to join ISTAT— at no cost — as part of the new ISTAT Rising Executives Corporate Membership program. This program aims to increase the engagement of young professionals in the aviation industry and provide them an introduction to ISTAT member benefits. 

ISTAT Rising Executives Corporate Members will have access to ALL the benefits of an ISTAT member, inclusive of complimentary access to premier member events and discounted registration to ISTAT conferences and forums (see additional details below). In addition, these new corporate members will receive relevant dedicated communications from ISTAT about ways to get involved and opportunities to be spotlighted in an ISTAT publication, newsletter or on social media. 

Eligibility requirements:

Any company, with at least three current ISTAT members*, can put forth an individual to become a Rising Executive Corporate Member. That individual must meet the following requirements:

• Not a current or past ISTAT member
• Has not previously attended an ISTAT conference or forum
• Works for the company that is supporting that individual's membership
• Has between one to 10 years of experience in the industry
• Is willing to act as an ambassador to ISTAT, attending webinar briefings and reviewing relevant communications to inform your company on ISTAT offerings

*ISTAT Corporate Members may add an additional individual to their roster if they meet the same eligibility requirements.

Additional details:

• ISTAT Rising Executives Corporate Members will be invited to attend their first ISTAT conference or forum for FREE, then will receive a 50% discount to attend additional conferences and forums during their membership period.
• Once confirmed, ISTAT Rising Executives Corporate Members will receive member benefits through the end of 2026. At that point, the renewal process for this membership will follow ISTAT’s annual membership renewal calendar.
• All companies may request an ISTAT Rising Executives Corporate Membership for one year. After one year, that member’s benefits expire unless the individual renews as a paid member.
