Join an IMA Strategic Industry Group (SIG)


While IMA is focusing on expanding the incentive marketplace as a whole, the individual SIGs work to meet the specific needs of its members. You must be an IMA member to join a SIG.

Many IMA members find SIG participation enhances their membership by zeroing in on their company’s focus. Based on your company type and interests, you may find one (or more) of the following SIGs a great addition to your IMA membership.
