SIOP membership provides a host of benefits including year-round opportunities to network and collaborate with other I-O psychologists including frequent continuing education and professional development programs. Not only will membership help with my personal professional development and contributions at work, but it can also help raise visibility for our organization as well. The great value returned on SIOP’s annual membership dues (the lowest of its peer organizations) is made possible by SIOP’s non-profit status and aligns with its educational mission.
Becoming a member of SIOP will allow me to apply for several grants, awards, and scholarships that are only available to members, and to receive significant discounts on rates for SIOP conferences and professional development programs.
There are several regular scholarly and informational publications included in membership. I can also buy books in the SIOP Organizational Frontiers book series at a discount and can access select research databases for a nominal fee.
Networking and visibility opportunities include service on SIOP committees, knowledge sharing through conferences, webinars, white papers, articles, and other publications. I will also have access to the member directory and can elect to be part of special interest registries, the consultant locator, and the media resource database.
