A Network That Earns Its Reputation

SIM’s membership network has been built over 50 years by technology leaders who chose quality of relationship over quantity of contacts.

When you join SIM, you’re entering a community of executives who have already decided that peer investment is worth their time — which means every room you walk into is worth your time.

Leadership That Goes Beyond

The most effective technology executives don’t rely on their organization alone to develop themselves.

SIM membership gives you access to a curated set of leadership development programs — from first-time manager workshops to C-suite forums — designed specifically for the challenges and ambitions of technology leaders at every stage.

WHY JOIN SIM?

What Membership Looks Like in Practice

Connect

A national network of CIOs, CTOs, and senior technology executives who take peer relationships seriously. Chapter events, Enclaves®, and national summits give you repeated, high-quality access to the people who matter most to your career.

Develop

Leadership development programs designed specifically for technology executives — not generic management training, but cohort-based development built around the real challenges you’re navigating right now.

Lead

The leaders who shape SIM’s direction, programs, and culture started exactly where you are. Chapter leadership roles and national committees are how SIM members grow into the leaders the community needs.

Give Back

SIM membership includes the opportunity to invest in the next generation of technology leaders through mentorship programs, STEM outreach, and the SIM Foundation. The executives who shaped your career paid something forward. SIM makes it easy to do the same.

Who Should Join?

SIM membership is designed for technology executives — from leaders just stepping into their first executive role to CIOs running the technology strategy for global organizations.

  • CIO, CTO, CDO, and Senior Technology Executives 
  • Director, VP, and Emerging Technology Leaders

Membership Criteria
