8th September 2006 - The Institute Launches!

Thousands of postnominally-challenged professionals worldwide breathe a sigh of relief.

Official Status

The ISPN is a registered organisation with lots of validity and stuff. The Executive Steering Committee Council of the ISPN owns two suits (count 'em!) and peer-reviews himself nearly every morning.

Welcome to the Institute!

As a successful professional you will no doubt be aware of the need to encourage respect and deference among your colleagues, rivals and clients. The easy way to get this respect that you deserve is through the use of initials after your name - it makes you sound clever, respectable and part of an upstanding community. In the past you may have had to work hard for these post-nominals by filling in lengthy forms, writing cheques, logging in to Paypal or even getting a friend to write you a reference - but no more!

Welcome to the Establishment!

Here at the Institute of Spurious Post-Nominals, we will appoint anyone as a member. Simply fill in the registration form and you can then put 'MISPN' (Member of the Institute of Spurious Post-Nominals) after your name. If you would like the added honour and exclusivity of being a Fellow of the Institute (FISPN) you will need to cover the extra administration costs by buying us a present from our Amazon wishlist. Look on it as an investment - if a client is torn between hiring you or a rival, he's always going to hire the one with the most post-nominals, right?
