Check out trade organizations before you join. You’ll enjoy the benefits.
I can’t think of a trade where there isn’t an association or service group for members to join. These groups provide multiple benefits for their members, including training, business tips and input on code changes. However, you probably don’t have the time, resources or desire to join more than one. So, which ones should you join?
You’re probably wondering what to expect from an association in exchange for your fees and participation. I can only share my experiences. I’ve been president of my local PHCC group and actively involved with the PHCC-NA and other groups.
