Jonathan Landon
Toronto Chapter President

“The CIO Association has allowed me to connect and build relationships with those who really get the challenges associated with implementing advanced technological capabilities, product innovation, and the need to scale rapidly. I’ve also been able to directly engage with CEO’s of leading technology firms and advanced science departments within academia. All for one low price!”

Le programme CIO en Transition

Le programme CIO en Transition est ouvert aux membres en règle de l’association Canadienne des CIO qui ne répondent plus aux critères d’adhésion en raison d’une perte d’emploi, d’un congé ou de circonstances similaires, de sorte que le membre n’est pas employé à temps plein. Le conseil d’administration de la section locale du membre examinera chaque demande de ce programme afin de déterminer si la situation répond aux critères.

Pendant la durée de l’adhésion au CET, les membres sont tenus de fournir 20 heures de travail bénévole sur des projets pour l’association, soit par l’intermédiaire de leur section locale, soit par le biais du bureau national. La durée du mandat d’un CET est limitée à un an maximum, après quoi les membres devront payer une cotisation régulière. Des dispositions peuvent être prises pour que les CET effectuent des paiements échelonnés sur leurs cotisations. Lorsqu’un CET est employé (à plein temps ou sous contrat), il bénéficie d’un délai de grâce de trois mois, puis reçoit une facture pour son adhésion. Les cotisations doivent être payées dans les 30 jours suivant la facturation afin de conserver le statut et les privilèges de membre.

CIO in Transition program

The CIO in Transition program is open to existing CIO Association members in good standing whose annual membership has expired and who no longer meet the criteria for membership due to loss of employment, leave of absence or similar circumstances such that the member is not employed full-time. The member’s local Chapter Board will review each request for this program to determine whether the situation meets the criteria.

During the term of a CIT membership, members are expected to provide 20 hours of volunteer project work for the Association, either through their local chapter or national office. The term of a CIT is limited to a maximum of one year only, after which time members will be expected to pay a regular membership fee. Arrangements can be made for CITs to make installment payments on their membership dues. When a CIT becomes employed (either full time or on contract) they will be given a grace period of 3 months, and then will be invoiced for their membership. Membership dues must be paid within 30 days of invoicing in order to retain member status and privileges.
