Can interimCEO cancel my membership?

The owner of the network, interimCEO, Inc., reserves the right to cancel any membership for any reason at any time. The IAIE and interimCEO, Inc. will conduct Platinum member services, including the Platinum interview, credentials verification, background checks and reference communications. If, in our discretion, we believe that a Platinum member or applicant has misrepresented his or her background or credential or any other information we deem relevant, we reserve the right to deny an application or revoke a membership. In the event of any such cancellation, no refund will be given.

What is your refund policy for events?

A full refund will be provided for member events, such as luncheons and conferences, if the cancellation is made 30 days prior to the event. Within 30 days of the event, no refund will be awarded but the reservation is transferrable.

Are interim executives unemployed?

No.

Are interim executives consultants?

No. At least, not in the true sense of the profession. Interim executives take on a fiduciary responsibility in their roles with a client corporation.

How does the network or the IAIE employ me?

We don’t. We do not “own” any executives. We are not a proprietary company in the sense of having a stable of interim executives. That is not our role. Our role is to help form the interim practice worldwide as a recognized profession and industry. We are home base for all interim, contract and project executives worldwide.
