Why reinstate instead of reapplying
Your CIBA membership was cancelled after a period of inactivity, and your account still carries unpaid invoices from those years. That bill is probably the main reason coming back hasn't felt possible.
This November we'll cancel it. If you apply as a new member, you start again with a new membership number. Reinstatement keeps your original membership number, and your designation can be restored after screening.
