Membership
The old triz.org site did not publish a membership catalog. It treated Institute membership as part of certification, and the store sold a few related items.
The Altshuller Institute is a 501(c)(3), founded in 1998. The certification pages say a candidate works with the Institute, and the 2022 training schedule bundled an Institute membership fee with certification testing. The old store listed an item named “Associate Certification Testing Fee & Annual Membership.”
What the store listed
- Associate certification testing bundled with an annual membership
- Become a Legacy Supporter, billed annually, and a monthly version of that item
- Donations to support the Institute
- A universal website sponsorship
- Newsletter advertising
- An affiliate initiation fee
No page kept here states what a member, a supporter, or a sponsor receives.

TODO. Richard and Matthew need to supply the current membership offer: who may join, the tiers, the prices, the term, what access or discounts membership includes, and whether legacy supporter, sponsorship, and affiliate items still exist. Do not import a fee table from another site until someone confirms it is the offer for triz.org.
