SIIA Member Recruitment Toolkit
Helping SIIA recruit new members can be as simple as copying, pasting and sending a customizable email invitation to a membership prospect! All contributions to the recruitment effort are welcome, and for any action you take, big or small, SIIA staff are ready and available to support you in introducing companies to SIIA.
