This is the way it worked when I was in DC. I started with IAABO back there. You had to be an IAABO member as they had the contract with the schools for all the games.
When I moved to NV, where there are no IAABO boards, you just join the local HS officials association. CA doesn't use IAABO either. As a matter of fact the three NV associations are actually part of the CBOA (the CA system).
Tomegun went the other way, from Nevada to DC, during approximately the same years (we had a small overlap in NV), so he has experienced both systems as well.
