Associates
The IJIS Institute welcomes as its Associates active employees of non-profits, government agencies or institutions of higher learning who are engaged in the justice, public safety, or homeland security missions. As an Associate of the IJIS Institute, you will have the opportunity to participate in helping facilitate mission-critical information sharing adoption. Associates will join with leaders and innovators in the information technology industry who are interested in promoting more effective information sharing while participating in national efforts to improve the quality of information technology for justice, public safety, and homeland security.
Associates pay dues* and are eligible to participate in all committees. You may also be invited to provide professional practitioner expertise on IJIS Institute Technology Assistance (TA) and training engagements. The continued annual financial support of our Associates will help the Institute continue its work, and, as an Associate, you are an "active participant" in improving national information sharing.
* Associate status is free until July 1, 2013, at which time the annual fee will be $95.
