San Diego IT Directors Group

Our group grew out of the San Diego biotech industry. Our original members were all IT Managers or Directors for their companies. Most of the original core members still participate in the group.

No. Occasionally we will meet to discuss a particular topic or attend an event, hosted by a member of the group. We also try to meet at least 2 times a year in a social gathering.

We do not charge dues. Anyone who works in the IT industry as a manager or above may join the group.

We have a list server which often supports lively discussions on various subjects. There are vendors that do offer discounts to our members but we do not keep a comprehensive list because that is not the purpose of our organization.

As of May 2016, we have over 140 members. Our core membership lives and works within the San Diego metropolitan area. We have members in Orange County and various locations across the United States. Members outside San Diego primarily participate via the list server and website.

No. We do not allow vendors or recruiters to join because we discuss their people, products and services within the group.

Yes. However, you may choose to have your contact information made public or private to the group. Public means your information is shared with the group. Private means, except for your name and e-mail address (which appear in list server email discussion threads), your contact information is not shared with the group.

No. We do not share member’s contact information with anyone but members of the group. We agreed to expel anyone who does not respect the group’s privacy.
