Can I use the IAEM logo on my business cards?

Yes. Members are encouraged to use it on business cards, stationery and other appropriate items to designate their membership, and the iAEM also encourages partner groups to use it to help generate more iAEM awareness.

In due course, we will make appropriate material available via this website to members.

Can I use an IAEM post-nominal?

The Oceania Council Executive in August 2008, formally authorised members (including student members) of the Oceania Council of the IAEM to use the post nominal "MIAEM".

Please be advised, in order to maintain the integrity of the post nominal usage and to promote the Oceania Council, the following protocols must be followed.

1) The post nominal is to be "MIAEM" with no full stops or commas between the letters.
2) It is to be used after formal post nominal and qualifications (e.g. JP, MBA).
3) Members are only entitled to use the post nominal whilst remaining a current financial member of IAEM Oceania.
4) The post nominal may be used by student members who have paid student dues and reside in IAEM Oceania nations.

This will be formally adopted at the 2008 Oceania Council AGM.

We will be notified of all new members to the Oceania region, and we will add you to the email list. It is not possible to subscribe yourself to the list.

The list is not available to non-iAEM members, however, you could consider joining the publicly available iAEM list.

I am having trouble registering

A number of people have had trouble registering because they have not been receiving the emails with the one-time password to get started. This appears to have been caused by some organisations mail servers performing 'aggressive' filtering of emails - they recognise the welcome email as spam.

Solutions include:

• Notify the IT department so they can whitelist the domain oceania-iaem.com
• Change to an alternative email address. If you have already registered, notify the change using this form
• Check your email clients Junk Mail folder in case your email client has mistaken the email for spam

Why did I receive an out-of-office email message?

The email list is set up to attempt to intercept most messages created when someone sets an out-of-office auto-reply. The mailing list software should stop most of these messages reaching the list, but on occasions they may get through. This does not indicate that anything is wrong.

We would recommend that you just delete them if you receive them.
