Membership Benefits

Monthly Chapter Meetings
Members get together at monthly meetings to see ikebana demonstrations, hear lectures on related topics or participate in ikebana exhibitions, workshops or other events. Members are welcome to visit other chapters while on their travels.

Ikebana International Magazine
A premier publication, issued three times a year, richly illustrated with color plates of ikebana arrangements, articles on ikebana and related arts and cultural topics.

Chapter Activities Newsletter and Sakura News
Two lively newsletters that keep members informed regarding what is happening both locally and at chapters and regions around the world and at I.I. Headquarters.

Regional Conferences and World Conventions
Regional Conferences are held periodically in various regions through out the world for the purpose of offering educational and cultural exchange opportunities to our members close to home. The I.I. World Convention is held every five years in Japan.

Transfer of Membership
A member may transfer from one chapter to another upon presentation of a current, valid membership card.

Opportunity for Lessons

The chapter offers the names and contact information of ikebana instructors for the schools that are part of our chapter.

Friendship Through Flowers                   This is by far the best benefit of membership.
