TÜYİD aims to create value for its members in three main fields:

1. Representation

TÜYİD represents professionals serving in the IR arena. In this context, we follow Turkish and international IR developments and regulations closely, while serving as a communications link in relaying our members' shared opinions to the Turkish regulatory bodies. We conduct educational and communications initiatives with an objective to further the recognition of the IR function through representation of our profession at national and global platforms and in order to integrate the corporate governance philosophy into corporate management. We act as the spokesperson of our members vis-à-vis the public and the media, we serve as one single voice in protecting the interests and rights of the IR profession and we play an active and meaningful role in raising Turkish professional IR standards to world-class practices.

2. Professional Development

Working Groups: A variety of working groups have been established within the body of our association focusing on regulations, education, communications and publications. We encourage our members to play an active role in the generation of a professional knowledge base and know-how.

Educational Programs: We conduct educational programs and workshops on different topics and at various levels geared to achieve perfection and to reach the highest standards in the IR arena. In addition to educational and certification programs, we hold panels and meetings for our members on current topics such as economics, strategic applications, regulations, as well as C-Suite discussions.

Generating and Sharing of Knowledge: We regularly provide the sector with data and information resources through our research studies, surveys, publications, reports, etc. We strive to become the leading platform to develop and share information in the IR arena and thereby hold regular IR summits in Turkey that bring IR leaders, experts and professionals together.

Website and Data Bank: Our website (www.tuyid.org) aims to create information, publications and databases on IR, along with an abundance of other resources privy to our members. You can enter the ?Members Only? pages of our website with your username and password and access the documents, database and virtual library, all privy to our members.

3. Professional Meetings and Collaborations

TÜYİD membership allows our members to join the only internationally recognized IR network in Turkey. As a member of GIRN (Global IR Network), we offer our members the most effective options to be included in international IR networks and to meet and share information with a large constituency of IR professionals. Furthermore, TÜYİD members are able to benefit from the leading and most established platforms such as the United States' NIRI (National Institute of Investor Relations) and their publications, resources and educational programs under advantageous terms.
