South Florida HDI
IT Industry Awards!

The Analyst of the Year, Desktop Support Technician of the Year, and Manager of the Year awards are an amazing opportunity and honor for our chapter and for the eventual winner who will represent the South Florida HDI chapter. The winners will also compete at the HDI Southeast regional level. The winners of the Regional award will win a free conference admission valued at $1695 and join other regional finalists at the annual HDI National Conference in April 2012 in Orlando, Florida where the 2011 HDI Analyst of the Year will be awarded. This holiday event is a social event without all the formalities where we promise you will have lots of time to meet and greet your peers as we begin enjoying the holiday's spirit. Come cheer and encourage our front line Analyst, Desktop Support Technician,and Manager nominees and finalists who are the face of IT at our companies. HDI members from top companies throughout South Florida will be in attendance, so make sure to reserve a spot today! Click here to RSVP now and join us at this great event to support all the award nominees. Complimentary food and drinks will be provided courtesy of our sponsors. Help South Florida HDI Give Back to the Community In celebration of the holidays, South Florida HDI would like to help kids who are less fortunate than many of us as we partner with Toys for Tots and sponsor a toy drive for this event.  We encourage all attendees to donate a wrapped toy ($10 minimum.)   The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
