CompTIA Offering Associate Membership to HTG Peer Groups Members

CompTIA, the trade association for the information technology (IT) industry, is now offering special associate membership to the members of HTG Peer Groups, an international peer group organization of IT solution providers.

HTG members can join CompTIA (News - Alert) as an associate member for one year for $49. Associate membership allows them access to various networking opportunities, educational programs, certification and accreditation options, research and other CompTIA programs and services.

“Our members will benefit greatly from the ability to evaluate the many CompTIA programs, services and resources,” said Arlin Sorensen, CEO, HTG Peer Groups, in a release.

“The vast majority of solution providers are not fully aware of the extensive reach of the CompTIA offering. This partnership affords them the opportunity to determine which have the most benefit for them. Given the peer power of HTG they will also share amongst their groups those offerings that are truly transformational to their business,” continues Sorensen.

“Our industry thrives when its brightest minds come together to tackle common problems and work together on solutions,” added Dan Liutikas, senior vice president, industry relations, CompTIA. “Opening our doors to industry organizations such as HTG Peer Groups is the latest example of the new CompTIA, where collaboration is welcomed, new ideas are embraced and growth and success for the entire industry is the goal.”

HTG Peer Groups members can access programs like CompTIA member communities and special interest groups. CompTIA's member communities and special interest groups include IT Services and Support, Managed Services, Managed Print Services, Cloud/SaaS (News - Alert), Security, Health IT and Open Source.

HTG members get benefits like free business tools and templates, VAR/MSP-specific educational tracks and best practices, discounts on CompTIA IT certifications and business accreditations, free registration for CompTIA Breakaway, North America's IT channel event, discounts on other CompTIA events, access to industry research, networking opportunities with other CompTIA members, and influence in shaping public policy initiatives.
