My comment was not intended to suggest that those who aren't members of the IFA aren't qualified and my apologies for any misunderstanding. I really meant to say that as those who become members have to demonstrate experience and qualifications to do so and as such membership demonstrates this to employers/clients. It does not mean that qualified archaeological/historic environment professionals are limited to those with a professional membership - be it IFA, IHBC, AAIS etc.
