SIP 10th Anniversary Celebration

On April 20, 2007 we celebrated our 10th anniversary by speeches, prizes, honouring sponsors and having a lively discussion at the Toronto City Hall.

Max Haroon, President of the Society of Internet Professionals

Message from the President

My fellow SIPpers, it is not a small feat that we have survived 10 years when many associations in the Internet sector were not able to sustain themselves. We are proud of our achievements in spite of no governments or private funding, the notable being the establishment of Accredited Internet Professional (AIP) program in nine different streams. Standards and Certification was the mandate of SIP and we are expanding the program with accreditation of training centres. >>>
