Corporate Tours

By far the largest of our events, the International Business Association corporate tours provide amazing opportunities for members to visit Fortune 500 companies and get a personal view of the corporate world. We feel it is crucial for our members to graduate with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed. Our corporate tours provide some exposure to numerous industries with international ties. Past tours have included visits to companies in New York, Silicon Valley, Washington, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, and Tampa.

Dues and Benefits

By becoming a member of the International Business Association, you will be entering a club which is dedicated to its members. We are an RSO, which means we can provide all of the benefits associated with being a registered organization at Florida State. In addition to the many professional and social advantages membership provides, our members also receive:

1. Member T-Shirt - New members are given t-shirts when they pay their dues (while supplies last). We will wear these shirts during IBA events including charity and fundraising event.

2. Resume List - Every member who pays dues will be placed in the resume booklet which will be handed out to each corporation we visit on our corporate tours. This is a great way of gaining exposure to corporations.

3. Mail List - You will be added to the mailing list which may contain internship opportunities and announcements.

4. Alumni Network - IBA is still a growing organization on campus, as such we have a small but very influential alumni network. Some of our alumni corporate relations include Goldman Sachs, Shell Gasoline, Bank of America, and Ernst and Young.

Annual dues are $35 for new members, and $25 dollars for returning members.
