We are an independent network not affiliated with any other industry associations. In fact, we're turning the typical association model on its head. SPIN is different: we like to think of ourselves as an un-association because we don't do things the way you might expect.
What Does SPIN Do?
- Challenges the way you think
- Helps you fight burnout
- Increases your productivity
- Provides peer-to-peer resources
- Helps you break out of the senior-planner rut
- Provides opportunities to meet direct peers
- Enables you to solve your challenges with the help of your peers
- Helps you re-engage and re-energize
- Provides an environment where the focus is strictly on senior-level planners for a change!
Everything we do is BY senior-level planners, FOR senior-level planners. We are not all things to all people; we're just for senior-level planners. We value your membership, and your membership has value.
As a member of SPIN, you have a voice in every major decision. Our "Board" is 2,500 members, not a dozen or so trying to guess what you want and need. We have no 100-year-old mission statement that we dust off every now and then. We are constantly evolving and based on YOUR needs, because we are senior-level planners, too.
Each quarter in more than a dozen North American cities, SPIN leads education/networking gatherings (we call them SPIN Think Tanks) for fellow members, with CEU-accredited discussions on topics that matter to you, because the topics come from you and your peers.
Membership is strictly for planners,
and you must have 10+ years' experience to join.
All members are pre-screened, qualified senior-level planners with at least 10 years of full-time planning experience (the average is closer to 20 years). To join, click the Join SPIN tab above - basic membership is $25 annually. We're only for planners, and full of resources built by and for our members.
