The Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest launches public membership program

The Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest is launching a new public membership program.

“Since recognizing our first class of inductees in 2005, the Society of Innovators has built an incredible community of innovation-minded leaders across the region,” said Sheila Matias, executive director of the Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest. “Our new public membership will help us connect with even more of Northwest Indiana’s innovators and open up new programming to a bigger community.”

Members of the Society receive exclusive benefits—and support robust regional economic development that drives a culture of innovation in Northwest Indiana.

The Society is offering three membership levels for 2020:

  • CONNECT ($25) – Members receive 25 percent off registration for all Society of Innovators programs and events, monthly members-only newsletters and invitations to members-only networking events.
