  • Networking opportunities provided by SIR conferences and educational classes and through the Member directory and skills matrix in the Members-only section of the Society's web site.
  • Presentations and discussion at SIR conferences and events.
  • Access to conference presentations and other material, including original research by the SIR, individual or corporate SIR Members, or partnering organizations.
