Membership Eligibility
IPEC-Americas has three classes of membership:
Full Members are firms whose business regularly involves the production or manufacture of:
(i) pharmaceutical or other excipients
(ii) bulk excipient formulations (e.g., excipient blends); or
(iii) finished dosage pharmaceuticals or delivery systems containing pharmaceuticals or other excipients.
Affiliate Members are subsidiaries of full Members whose management is not controlled on a day-to-day basis by the Full Member company's management and who otherwise qualify for full membership.
Associate Members may consist of consultants, suppliers, advertising and marketing agencies and other individuals or companies who are interested in the activities of the Council and are either not paid or employed by a company or business entity that could qualify as a Full or Affiliate Member.
Employees of firms in all three membership classes may serve on Council standing and special committees, to receive membership bulletins and mailings, and to attend Council meetings and conferences. Associate Members, however have no voting rights and are not eligible for elective office.
Full Members
Companies doing business in the U.S., Canada, and throughout Latin America that either produce or manufacture pharmaceutical excipients or finished drug dosage forms that contain excipients, and who sell their products in the Western Hemisphere are eligible for full membership in IPEC-Americas.
Employees of Full Member companies may chair and serve on all standing and special committees with full voting rights; they may attend Council meetings, receive bulletins, newsletters, and membership mailing, and may hold elective office.
Affiliate Members
Companies that are divisions or subsidiaries of Full Members but whose management is not controlled on a day-to-day basis by the Member and whose business also regularly involves the production or use of pharmaceutical excipients are eligible for affiliate membership.
Employees of Affiliate Member companies may chair and serve on all standing and special committees with full voting rights; they may attend Council meetings, receive bulletins, newsletters, and membership mailings.
