Special Interest Area Communities (SIACs) are just one of many member benefits that DIA offers. Each SIAC provides a discipline-specific, global community where members can share common experiences and knowledge and connect with others in their particular field.

SIAC Role in DIA. SIACs provide a forum for volunteers to network and exchange information. SIACs also assist DIA in identifying professional development needs in particular interest areas and in providing information to members in career and professional development, to meet those needs.

SIAC Leadership. SIACs have a chairperson or co-chairpersons who take responsibility for the overall activities of the SIAC. A core committee facilitates the work of each SIAC.

DIA ConneX. SIAC members automatically gain access to DIA ConneX, a trusted, interactive, web-based network that links DIA’s 18,000-member global community.
