Next year, ITAC will celebrate
its 10th anniversary. During ITAC's decade of service to the
telework community, there have been many changes in the organization
and in the field of telework. The constants have been the
steady growth in the number of people teleworking and ITAC's
dedication to delivering meaningful programs and services
to its members.
ITAC's Board of Directors recently
conducted an intensive review of the association's operations
and programs. The end result is a new plan for ITAC, a plan
designed to bring more value to membership in our association.
ITAC now offers five organizational
membership categories, each with tailored benefits and dues:
User Company, Agency, Vendor Company, Sole Proprietor, and
a premier level called "Telework Top Tier."
We have also restructured ITAC
memberships so that one membership fee now covers an entire
organization, allowing all employees of a member company to
access a broad range of member benefits. Now user companies
and agencies can extend their ITAC membership to professionals
in their HR, Facilities Management and IT departments.
Cross-category benefits include:
- Enhanced Members-Only Web
site: When we roll out the new site in July, you will
find easier access to member-exclusive information including
valuable Telework America research, case studies, and an
online membership directory to help you network with your
peers. All members will be issued new, individual passwords
in July.
- A complimentary copy of ITAC's
renowned Telework America 2001 Research Report (previously
priced at $99) -- additional copies only $39 each.
- Annual Meeting for
members in September of this year- more details to follow.
- Virtual Seminars:
ITAC will offer a series of webinars on timely telework
topics that members can attend for free or at a significantly
discounted fee. We'll kick off the series on June 19th with
"Technology Barriers for Home-Based Teleworkers,"
based on a new report commissioned by GSA.
- Many more benefits are
available that apply to all members as well as those that
are category specific. Please go to member benefits for
full details about each of the five categories.
With ITAC fast approaching its
10th anniversary, we have never been so well positioned to
serve the Telework community and to fuel the continued growth
of virtual work, both here in the U.S. and abroad.
If you need to communicate with
us directly, please send a message to [email protected]
with your question and a staff representative will communicate
back with you in 24 hours.
If you are not ready to commit
to membership at this time, please keep yourself informed
of new developments in telework and at ITAC by subscribing
