Which Membership Type is Right for You?

CIO Circle

This category allows the Senior Leaders of an organization access to this exclusive group. Membership in the Technology Circles is restricted to non-vendors to preserve the peer character of the group. This category is for Senior IT Leaders that are not in any other category.

Emerging Leaders

Emerging Leaders is a peer-to-peer group designed for the IT professional who wants to connect with other IT professionals and improve their overall performance. Many in this group will be leading initiatives or teams but you do not have to have direct reports to join the group.

Corporate Member

Any company can join The Circuit. Membership is
based on the amount of staff in this area. As a Corporate member of The Circuit, you can take advantage of your membership by attending many educational and special events including our Best of Tech Awards Event.

Associate Member

Non-profit and educational organizations. Associate memberships are made available to universities, community colleges, and other not-for-profit educational institutions, government entities and associations.

Individual Member

The individual Membership is for anyone who is not employed by a company–if you own your own company and you are THE ONLY employee, this membership is for you. If you are a student, you can join as an individual Circuit Member.

“The CIO Circle is a group of technology leaders with a diverse set of backgrounds representing a collection of local companies. I can’t overstate the peace of mind that comes from exchanging ideas and experiences with these leaders, knowing that I’m getting the benefit of their collective experiences.”

"The collective knowledge and expertise of the CIO Circle has been an invaluable resource in my work. The group has a strong culture of supportiveness where we learn from each other's experience in deploying specific technologies, providers and overall best practices. The programming is an efficient way to keep pace with the trends that will have a real effect on our businesses. Our region and organizations are far better off because of The Circuit & CIO Circle."

"I think the Emerging Leaders group provides an excellent forum for future IT leaders to develop the necessary skills to lead a team and be a strategic partner to the business. In addition, it allows these individuals to build a network that they can leverage throughout their career. If you are an IT leader that is serious about building your people, I can't think of a reason you wouldn't want members of your team to participate."
