<p>You may be deciding whether to renew your IIA Membership right? Or maybe you&#8217;re thinking about joining. We know, in (sorry to bring it up) times like these, every decision to shell out cash is a hard one.</p>
<p>In January of every year we encourage <a href="http://www.iia.ie/membership/" target="_blank">our existing members</a> to renew their membership. It&#8217;s a great <a href="http://iia.ie/join/" target="_blank">time to join</a> as well because you will get a full year of <a href="http://iia.ie/benefits" target="_blank">all that goodness</a>.</p>
<p>What goodness exactly?</p>
<ul>
<li>Did you know that you can save up to €1035 on training costs this year as an IIA Member? With an average satisfaction rating      of 85% for events the training is well worth it.</li>
<li>Did you know that as an IIA member you can approach <a href="http://www.iia.ie/about-us/working-groups/" target="_blank">our working groups for advice</a> relating to a range of issues from legal queries to web development?</li>
<li>Did you know the value of IIA Resources &amp; Services, if it      were to be undertaken by you privately, would amount to the following:<br />
- Legal support on specific queries with a minimum value of €300 per query;<br />
- Training course materials and Case Studies valued at €4,200;<br />
- Development guides and White Papers valued at €3,600.</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s a solid business case and that&#8217;s just the hard numbers.  Being a member of the IIA is important, it puts you and your business at the centre of Ireland&#8217;s digital economy.</p>
