Alumni Membership Benefits

The association was founded in 1996 to provide former staff members the opportunity to keep in touch with SRI and with colleagues, to support the institute in a variety of ways, and to help perpetuate SRI’s traditions and values. We have a few hundred members across the United States and the world.

Join the Alumni Association and renew your membership annually to enjoy many activities and services:
