Being an Associate Member of CIHT (AMCIHT) brings many benefits, such as access to CIHT events of interest and relevance to my role in the industry, weekly email newsletters. I always find Transportation Professional magazine a great source of information as to what is happening in the industry. In addition to this, I have access to a fantastic members' benefits discount area - CIHT Options - and have saved a lot of money using this service. I would definitely recommend anyone in the transport industry to become a member of CIHT.
