Professional Associations
Benefits
Not every professional wants to join an association, sometimes feeling that the costs of membership outweigh the benefits. However, most associations offer the young professional opportunities that may not be available privately. Ask colleagues in your profession what advantages they have discovered in the various associations available to you. Apart from providing a political and economic voice in the community, many voluntary associations offer some or all of the following benefits:
- Placement opportunities
- Financial services
- Group insurance rates
- Professional development
- Practice advisory services
- Mentoring programs
- Conferences
- Fee arbitration
- Journals and newsletters
- Ethics counseling
- Help lines (internet and phone)
- Equipment and Supplies discounts from specified vendors
