Need Convincing :: Why to be an ISES Member?

Become a member of the Indiana ISES Chapter today!

No one can tell you why to join more than our own amazing ISES Indiana Members.  Check out what a few of our members have to say:

• “I joined ISES to stay informed, to network, to be involved with the events community. I got involved, I participated, I inspired and I was active in the organization. If I had not donated or got involved with ISES Indiana in 1998, I would not have the strong business I have today. You must work the organization, don't sit back, don't stay silent! The more you get involved the more connections you make; which leads to building a stronger business and network of colleagues.”  Gene Huddleston, Detail + Design & ISES Indiana Past President
  
  
• “Being part of ISES has been one of the best things I have done for my career!  I have met so many new people, including Indy’s Top Special Event Vendors.  I have also been very excited to learn new things, and stay current with all of the hottest trends.”  Jen Barenie, Indianapolis Marriott Downtown & ISES Indiana Past President

• "I really enjoy the opportunity to turn business relationships into friendships. That, to me, is the greatest value in ISES over the years."  Larry Sauer, Encore Entertainment

• “The relationships have been invaluable and built my business from day one. I tell every aspiring member of the event industry that membership in event organizations is needed.  The education, networking and validity it brings to a company are keys to success!” Monica Richard, Mon Amie Events & ISES Indiana Past President

• "When I was in my research phase for Snappening.com, I knew I wanted to become part of trade groups that represented to height of the industry. So ISES just clearly stood out as one of these groups. I met with the president at that time and I started my plans to get involved right away."  Crystal Grave, Snappening.com

• "I regularly attended meetings years ago, but priorities changed with a full time career and a young family. I came back to ISES, because I missed the camaraderie and networking that go hand-in-hand with ISES. Many of the event professionals I respect the most are a part of the Indiana Chapter. Plus, I am tired of experiencing the PACE Awards through text on my couch at home! Out of ISES, I am gaining a solid professional support network and contributing my own experience in the events industry to help others build their own businesses.”  Jama Finney, Cake Zen

• “I really think being in a professional organizational is critical to a successful career. I have an undergraduate and graduate degree and value my education every day of my life! I joined ISES because it gives me many opportunities to continually learn, to grow, to be in a professional environment, have a huge network of professionals to feed from and expects me to be my best as a professional.”    Kim King Smith, Kim King Smith Events, LLC
