WHY JOIN?

Joining a professional association is a great start in furthering your career. There are associations for nearly every profession or area of interest and many have national, state and local associations to join.

• Enhance your network - For most people, creating professional relationships is important. Joining an association allows you to have a sense of security and trust.
• Broaden your knowledge - Take advantage of the association's career resources. Associations often have job listings online or in print available to their membership.
• Be a leader - Professional associations give you an opportunity to develop your skills as a leader.
• Strength in numbers - We live in a day and age where establishing a presence in any given career field often demands working long hours in the office. In an association, you have access to an established support system of experienced people who are motivated to get things done.
