Doctors attend medical school and lawyers attend law school. Since there is not a defined degree plan for Investor Relations, membership to NIRI is key in career development and growth. NIRI Houston offers monthly events (including speaker-led luncheons, workshops, and conferences) aimed at investor relations related topics. Joining the local chapter also provides a great opportunity to access and network with professional peers.

Prior to joining the local chapter, you must become a member at NIRI National. Upon completing your NIRI National registration, you will have the opportunity to click a link to join the Houston Chapter.

NIRI Houston dues are $70. These dues help defray our administrative and program costs and are some of the lowest for a major city chapter. You must be an active member of NIRI National in order to join NIRI Houston.
