In 1992, the SEI established a program, now called the SEI Membership Program, designed to enable software engineering managers and practitioners to keep closely connected to the SEI’s latest news and information. For the past 10 years, SEI members from around the globe have been able to access the SEI’s repositories of information and research results.

SEI members enjoy a weekly email newsletter, The Bulletin, and have access to a members-only Web site, called the Member Center, where they can find the latest news, browse the profiles of fellow members in the member directory, and in the near future, listen to presentations from members of the SEI technical staff. Members also enjoy savings on the Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG) Conference, SEI merchandise, and one SEI public course offering per year.

Since the program’s inception, the SEI has offered the membership program to individuals from industry, government, and academia in the U.S. This past year, the program was opened to international applicants.
