Members In Transition

Stronger Together: Supporting Arizona’s IT Leaders in Transition. 

At SIM Arizona, we recognize that career transitions are pivotal moments—filled with both challenge and opportunity. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated space just for you: an educational and support community designed specifically to help IT leaders advance and accelerate their job search and discover the right next step in their careers. 

It’s a simple but powerful idea: Bring together Arizona’s top IT leaders who are currently in transition and provide a forum where they can support, encourage, and empower one another. Through shared experiences, expert resources, and genuine peer connection, we aim to make the journey to your next opportunity faster, more strategic, and less isolating. 

Whether you are a member of SIM Arizona or an IT Professional in transition, you are warmly invited to join us!   

Effective February 2026, we will no longer hold regularly scheduled meetings. Instead, meetings will be arranged on an as-needed basis for professionals seeking transition guidance.

If you're navigating a career transition—or want to stay connected to Arizona’s vibrant IT leadership community—we would love to have you with us.
