Society for Information Management (SIM)

Join SIM Houston

Join the Houston chapter of SIM and participate with us in the management revolution, which is changing the way the world communicates, educates, and conducts business. Membership in this chapter of our international organization puts you in the middle of a global community which captures and leverages the power of knowledge, information, and technology. It truly is “where IT leaders connect”.

 

Membership to SIM Houston also includes membership in SIM National, the premier professional organization for top information systems executives.

 

Apply Now / Renew your membership

Join SIM Houston in two easy steps:

Membership Benefits

As a member, you can:

• Network with IT leaders during monthly membership meetings, conferences, roundtable discussions, seminars, and more

• Access all the benefits of SIM International, including innovative workshops and programs

• Connect with peers who understand and manage similar challenges via SIM’s online community, www.simnet.org

• Chapter e-newsletters, and bi-monthly SIM International Member e-newsletters

• Give back to the community through our active outreach efforts

• Advance your skills with exclusive access to the SIM Regional Leadership Forum (RLF), providing industry-specific training for future IT leaders

 

New members who are not IT practitioners must be tied to companies that are sponsoring SIM Houston. Each sponsor will be allowed to have one designated member who should be a senior (VP) level non-practitioner, for the purposes of networking, not selling.

 

Existing members who are not IT practitioners (or former practitioners who transitioned to a non-practitioner position) must actively contribute to chapter vitality by volunteering to support programs, attend outreach events, help with the annual golf or clay tournament or other such efforts. Participation must go beyond paying dues and attending meetings.
