Several cave managing organizations are affiliated with the Society as conservancies. These organizations agree to the purposes of the Society and are overseen by the Conservancies Committee. They are not considered Internal Organizations of the Society. Conservation Task Forces (CTF) are created by the Society to focus on major local-level cave conservation problems. The activities of Society members who work together as a CTF are coordinated by the Conservation Committee.

Programs in Organization Development at the Graduate School of Management prepare professionals to successfully lead learning and change initiatives in organizations. Focusing on the role of the change-agent, the program enables students to master the behavioral, organizational, and diagnostic knowledge and skills required to facilitate interventions that will bring about growth and development. Students will become adept as internal or external consultants to organizations, and will be able to identify the need for change, as well as effectively plan, implement, and institutionalize strategic, techno-structural, human process, and programmatic change efforts in response to the turbulence of a dynamic market and economy that necessitates on-going learning and transformation in order to survive.

Affinity Groups are not considered Internal Organizations of the Society, but are overseen by the IO Committee and, so, are listed here. Affinity Groups must have at least ten Society members, who will foster the Society goal of fellowship among those interested in caves, but, unlike sections, with common interests of their members not directly related to speleology.
