Mexico Benefits Information Page

History
The AIST Mexico Member Chapter was established in June of 1995 as the ISS Mexico Chapter and was the first International AIST Member Chapter. The Mexico Member Chapter exists to provide steel industry professionals in Mexico with information about upcoming AIST Mexico Chapter events, other international AIST events, industry information, opportunities for scholarships and networking. Also, the AIST Member Chapter publishes Hierro Y Acero quarterly.

Membership
In March 2010, the Association for Iron & Steel Technology established a dual AIST/AIST Mexico Chapter dual Membership opportunity for individuals living in Mexico. The dual membership includes a professional membership with AIST and a membership with the AIST Mexico Member Chapter. Only residents of Mexico are eligible for the AIST/AIST Mexico Chapter dual membership.

In the fall of 2010, AIST established a partnership with Associação Brasileira de Metalurgia, Materiais e Mineração (ABM). This partnership provides AIST members with the opportunity to obtain ABM membership at a reduced rate and gain in-depth information about the Brazilian steel industry.

Joining the AIST Mexico Member Chapter and ABM are optional.
