NALEO and IoL Agreement to Unite

The National Association of Licensing and Enforcement Officers (NALEO) and the Institute of Licensing (IoL) have agreed in principle to unite to become a single professional body for licensing practitioners.

The decision to unite has the strong support of both organisations and will deliver the following benefits to their members:

Benefits of a Combined Organisation

1. Members will enjoy new benefits from a merger:

• One professional body
• One membership subscription
• Stronger core organisation bringing together all the assets from both organisations
• The management structure will strengthen the representation of specific interest groups (e.g. local authorities)

2. Existing member benefits will continue and be enhanced:

• Strengthened regional meetings
• Discounted training
• Weekly news updates
• Website resources including a member forum
• Regular publications
• Strengthened representation with government departments and external stakeholders
• Stronger consultation responses
• Free vacancy advertising
• Post nominals for Individual, Fellow and Companion members

Training and Qualifications

3. A strengthened training offer and greater potential development of training and professional qualifications.

The detailed arrangements of the merger will be the subject of further discussion and agreement.  We look forward to confirming the final arrangements in the coming months.
