Strengthen your profession AND you might win a prize!
CIPS Saskatchewan Membership Drive Campaign
Invite one -- or more -- of your IT colleagues (not CIPS members) to one of our upcoming professional development luncheons -- and you might win a fabulous prize!
From October through December, for every colleague you bring to our monthly luncheons, you will be entered into a contest to win an exciting grand prize. And if that colleague decides to become a member too, we'll enter you both for our grand prize draw. And at every luncheon, we'll be drawing some fun door prizes too.
Your guest(s) are invited to attend one or all three upcoming luncheons at our member price -- usually a benefit that's exclusive to members. Simply send your guests' names to Saskatchewan@cips.ca -- it's that easy.
Your participation will not only help to strengthen your own professional association -- the ONLY legislated professional association for IT professionals in our province -- but you and your guests may win a prize too.
A big thank you to our grand prize sponsor:
