HDI,the world's largest membership association for the service and support industry, provides value for its members through:

• Fellowship with 7,500 members worldwide,
• The world's most recognized training and certification, and
• Industry leading events.

I detailed out some of this information in a prior post. What's new in this post is additional information about membership. An at-a-glance comparison chart of benefits sums up the HDI membership options very well. Note that entry-level memberships run as low as $75 ($65 if non-refundable) - see HDI website for latest info. For those interested, there is also a membership video (midway down the page here) that captures some of things people are saying about HDI.

If you have been thinking about joining, there is special promotion being run right now includes a Gold HDI Membership, an HDM Online Certification training class, plus a test voucher, a site certification self-evaluation, and an ITIM conference pass for $1,795 (a $2624 value). Offer expires on June 30, 2005.
