The Telecom Council is a corporate membership-based organization and depends on its members to
contribute and participate in every level, from roundtable discussions to panel speakers and from
steering committees of the Council's Forums to the Council's Board. The core of our value is in
connecting our members with one another, promoting open communication and functional collaboration
between you. In addition to this, we have different levels of membership for companies who seek to
gather more or different value from this strong local telecom community.
Our membership levels are designed to provide benefits for all stakeholders no matter which level
you choose - from the basic benefits of meeting the right people at member-only events, to speaking
opportunities, our LinkedIn Group, and listing your products and services in our directory to premium benefits
like business matchmaking, access to insider analysis, personal introductions, event sponsorship, and
Council leadership eligibility.
