InfoComm International is simplifying its membership structure and expanding the amount of free and discounted education offered to members. Changes will go into effect in early 2013.
Duffy Wilbert, CTS, CAE, Senior Vice President, Member Services, InfoComm International said, "In 2011, the Membership Committee dedicated themselves to resolving long-time challenges voiced by InfoComm’s members, including reducing the number of membership options and addressing the administrative constraints revolving around InfoComm’s EduBucks program. The result is a streamlined membership structure, more free online education, and a standard discount for other training and publications."
Wilbert said, "As an organization dedicated to the advancement of the industry, InfoComm is pleased to offer a wide variety of free and reduced-cost training to our members. Because we are discontinuing the EduBucks program, we want to encourage our members to spend their allotment this year at InfoComm 2012 and other in-person and online training sessions by the end of the year. While the EduBucks program was initially well-received, confusion about eligibility and concerns about administration have lingered. By offering our most popular on-line programs at no cost, and a standard discount on all other classes, InfoComm is making it easier to train the next generation of AV professionals."
