May 9 - CIO Roundtable
Technology continues to adhere to the requirements of today's business world and is increasingly become more vital. This in turn requires today's CIO to have a full comprehension of business as well as technology. In order to effectively provide results for an environment, the CIO must understand how to align technology with the organization's business directions, plans and goals.
The traditional role of the CIO focused on implementing and maintaining information technology systems, but with new technology and a transitioning role, the CIO now focuses on cost saving initiatives, ROI and providing profound solutions.
Please join the San Diego AITP CIO Discussion Panel as we discuss topics like mobile, BYOD, social networking and other issues pressing todays CIO. The panel will also focus on the top priorities for 2012 which include adopting the cloud, compliancy and replacing legacy technology.
The CIO panel consists of a wide array of CIOs ranging from healthcare, finance, travel and tourism to education and research. Please join us for an informative evening!

Professionals in Transition: Annual Dues Discount for Unemployed IT Professionals
AITP’s Unemployed Discount Program which offers reduced membership dues has been renewed for another year and will be effective from 9/1/11 until 8/31/12. The discount of $50 reduces the Association dues to $55. Note: Chapter and Region dues (if applicable) are not discounted and must be paid.
To qualify for this discount, a person must have been previously employed in the IT profession and must now be unemployed.
Current AITP members may use the discount when their membership comes up for renewal anytime in the coming year. New members are welcome at any time provided they meet the qualifications above. Members who previously took advantage of this Unemployed Membership Discount will also be eligible for this program as long as they are able to validate that they are still unemployed.
Last year, over 200 individuals took advantage of the Program and extended their membership or joined AITP. Naturally the association leadership wishes that all IT Professionals regain and retain full employment, but we also realize that there is currently a nationwide unemployment rate hovering around 10%, and the economy has been slow to recover.
What better way to network among your peers than at a chapter, region or national event? Most chapters meet every month from September through June, and some meet throughout the entire calendar year. The opportunity to network and share your professional interests and talents could assist you in getting back on track to gain full time employment.
Contact memberservices@aitp.org to take advantage of this limited offering.
This membership discount program is not available online.
