NIED memberships provide solutions to chambers of commerce wrestling with developing relevant services for small and medium size enterprises [SMEs]. In fact, NIED easies the burden by tailoring our already proven enterprise development modules to fit the market demands of local and regional chambers. Our members develop the activities and NIED provides the content. In the end, this partnership allows NIED to build small business capacity while our members work to retain their members.
NIED offers a variety of membership options. NIED memberships tender even more value to the holder through discounts on NIED services and event registrations. These discounts can be shared by our members with their members as part of an affinity program. In fact, we encourage our members to share these discounts with their members. NIED memberships also work well for student groups, business or professional associations, and academic departments. Review the membership options below, and then download our membership application to enroll in the membership program that suits your organization.
