Overview

CSK is a Membership Society representing Kenya's ICT Community in both Public and Private Sector. To Join, download and fill the membership form and submit to CSK offices at Milimani Nairobi. However there are requirements that need to be met before joining the society. As a Corporate member, you need to be associated with ICT directly or indirectly and as an Individual Member, you need to have supportive documents indicating that you are indeed either an ICT Professional, Student or an ICT Related Personnel serving in either Private or Public Sector here in Kenya.

Membership is devided into two major categories, namely:- Corporate Membership for ICT Companies, Individual Membership for ICT Professionals.

In the corporate members category we have two types: the industry i.e. ICT suppliers and User Companies. In the ICT industry category membership is tiered as per WITSA specifications, as member type C, B, A and Gold

These information sheets are for the benefit of those organizations considering CSK corporate membership, for the purpose of giving basic information about the Society.

The Computer Society holds regular activities for its members and also to create awareness of IT to the Large Kenyan society. Amongst the salient activities are:-

Computer suppliers support the society as a vehicle for increasing IT awareness in the general Kenyan Society and thereby building the industry. Most importantly the Society provides a vehicle by which they can reach target markets through awareness and educational events.
