Professional Organizations
Professional societies provide an excellent means of keeping current
and in touch with other professionals in the field. These groups can
play a key role in your development and keep you abreast of what is
happening in your field. Associations promote the interests of their
members and provide a network of contacts that can help you find jobs
and move your career forward. They can offer a variety of services
including job referral services, continuing education courses,
insurance, travel benefits, periodicals, and meeting and conference
opportunities. The following is a partial list of professional
