Invest in Yourself:
Ways to Make SIIC Affordable

SIIC Installment Plan (SIP)

Most everyone today, individuals and organizations alike, have cash resources that are somewhat restricted. For this reason ICI is offering credit terms for 2009 SIIC fees. Upon approval, interested participants can borrow up to 60% of the cost of any workshop or seminar, at zero interest. These credit accounts will be payable in six equal monthly installments beginning August 2009 and continuing forward through January 2010. For more information about ICI credit arrangements, please contact Steven Dowd or download and submit the application.

We invite you to "take a SIP."

Take SIIC for Academic Credit

Another way to invest in yourself is to take SIIC for academic credit, which is offered in a cooperative arrangement between the Institute and Portland State University at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Participants in degree programs are often able to use these credits as part of their course of study at their own university. For further details, please call us at 503-297-4622, or consult our website.

Referral Bonus

Our best promotion comes from word of mouth, in what used to be called "conversations," and what is now called "viral marketing." What we hope you will do is talk to a colleague or friend in whatever way works for you, and suggest a summer session at SIIC as an ideal opportunity. This is the year when support counts the most. Only you can know who may have funds left in this tough economy to use for professional and personal development.

In return, if you send us one new participant, you will be our guest for a Sample of SIIC workshop of your choice on Saturday, July 18. And you will also receive our warmest gratitude!
