Next month will mark our first calendar year in the biz since stopping in 2000. We had a good year and are working this month to update and plan for the next 12 months. My wife thought it would be good to join a pro organization for added credibility and continuous learning.
Association affiliation hasn't kept us from getting work so far. I don't see the value beyond a few discounts for things that could be negotiated one on one and frankly already have. I do not have time to attend chapter meetings as I still hold a full time job and travel occasionally. With respect to learning this board has been invaluable.
I'm sure these are fine organizations but want to make an informed decision before writing them off. Am I missing something?
