Enterprise Membership Program

The Big Country Chapter of AITP is proud to present you a corporate membership program that will suit your organizational needs. The National AITP has developed the Enterprise Membership Program which provides a discount on national membership dues for companies willing to commit to a number of members. These Enterprise Memberships are transferable in case of employee turnover. By enrolling from three to nine members, each individual dues would be reduced from $105 to $90. For those organizations willing to commit to ten or more members, each individual dues would be reduced from $105 to $80. This is a great opportunity to enroll your staff in a growing, active, IT professional organization.
