Am I eligible to join the OWL

Associate membership is available to you if you have recently attained your first leadership role, or in the early stages of your first leadership position of power*, authority or responsibility. The position could be one in a work environment, private or public sector; in social, voluntary or community circles; political or governmental spheres.

Alternatively, associate membership is available if you are already in a leadership position but have not yet successfully demonstrated the depth of Positive Values required to attain professional membership, while undertaking the IOWL Positive Value Leadership assessment.

Associate members are expected within 3 years of membership, to undertake a successful assessment against the Positive Value Leadership map - at membership level. This will indicate how effective you are in continuing to grow as an exemplar to society and a catalyst for the adoption of positive change (commercial, economic, social or political) for the benefit of all humanity.

Successful completion will enable your attainment of membership as a Professional Associate, Professional Member, or Professional Fellow.

As an Associate member, you will have demonstrated the minimum positive values during assessment, and are required to subscribe to, abide by and adhere to, the aims of One World Leadership. You will also be expected to pursue a development path that will enable your proficiency to achieve a future assessment at professional member level.

Am I eligible to join the OWL

If you are responsible for strategic leadership in your organisation, you will be eligible to become a member. If you don't quite fit the standard membership criteria you can still join as an Associate member.

What's the difference between an associate and full member?

The different grades of membership are based on your individual experience. If your company turnover, budget or length of time in business doesn't meet the full member criteria you can still join as an associate.

You'll still receive all of the same benefits and when you're ready you can upgrade to full membership status.
