The Society is affiliated with the Fashion Research Foundation, which serves as the sheltering organization. The Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that does not endorse or in any way support any particular immersive space, computer game, or virtual world. Society registration is a voluntary program with two tiers of membership. The Associate designation is freely available to all designers working in the area, without need to substantiate their ability or length of tenure as a designer.

*The Professional designation offers a path through which qualified designers may obtain a formal credential indicating that they meet a meaningful standard of professional competence as determined by technical knowledge and practical skills examinations, length of design practice experience, and other factors. The minimum qualification for entering the Society's professional registry is the Registered Professional Designer TM (RPD) credential. All Society Professional members are professional designers meeting the RPD TM or Registered Master Designer TM (RMD TM) standards.
