Frequently Asked Questions
Why is SHARE incorporating this new membership category?
SHARE is modernizing our membership options. This shift to an individual membership structure sets up the association with a more sustainable, long-term model that also benefits our members throughout their careers in enterprise IT. The new structure will drive more member engagement and feature on demand educational opportunities throughout the year.
What does the new Individual Membership provide and how does this add value for me?
Individuals who sign up for the Individual Membership will have exclusive access to new content and networking opportunities as part of our year-round education initiative. Individual Membership also allows you to maintain your SHARE membership when changing professional jobs or companies.
When you sign up for individual membership you’ll gain access to:
These new exclusive benefits are only available to individual members.
I’m currently a corporate member through my employer. What do I gain if I become an individual member?
Members under the corporate umbrella can switch now to the individual membership to access the new year-round educational offerings through the new education content platform to be released this summer. You will also receive voting rights for elections and SHARE requirements, additional volunteer opportunities to become a more active member of the association, including the opportunity to apply as a SHARE board member. Another key difference is that your membership will be portable, meaning it continues even if you change jobs.
Nothing is changing in the corporate membership program, but none of the new benefits available with an individual membership will be made available to current corporate members and delegates. View and compare membership benefits.
What is the annual cost of the new membership?
SHARE’s individual membership is based on the calendar year, January 1 – December 31 with the annual fee of $199.
I am an affiliate member already. How does this change my membership?
