Becoming part of the SIM San Francisco Bay Area chapter was an easy choice for me 5 years ago. An inclusive vibrant community where technology leaders come together to exchange ideas, build meaningful connections, and drive innovation in technology and business. Being part of SIM has been invaluable for both my professional growth and my ability to contribute to the industry.

As a SIM member for over 15 years, I’ve enjoyed the benefits of developing my leadership style through the RLF program, learning best practice through peer-to-peer discussion, and having access to IT leaders across the country. I continue to be inspired by people in this SF Bay Area chapter who are creating and leveraging cutting edge technology.
