What's Your Association?

With so many different industry associations and affiliations, how do you decide which ones to join? What are the benefits of joining ISES (International Special Events Society - http://www.ises.com/) or ADME (Association of Destination Management Executives - http://www.adme.org/) or any one of the many other noteworthy organizations in our industry? How do you choose to join one over another?

There is probably a different answer for everyone but as an industry professional, membership in an established association affords many opportunities including: networking, educational enrichment, certifications, staying current on industry trends, increasing your visibility and also establishing credibility. It also allows one to present their work for consideration of awards and to receive recognition from peers.

While it can become costly to become a member of multiple organizations, there is sure to be at least one that is compatible with your goals and objectives. Take advantage of the monthly meetings, offer to present a topic you are passionate about and be open to meeting new people. And lastly, be inspired by your colleagues.
