Each one of us has some sort of professional area of expertise. It may be legal, financial, administrative, manufacturing, public safety or any number of areas that exist throughout IPS. One way to nurture that area of expertise is to be involved in professional associations.
As you think about your professional development plans for the year, consider how you might be more involved professionally. Budgets are tight, but there are plenty of opportunities within the state. As budgets improve, there will be more opportunities to travel out of state. Many state associations have regional affiliates and national affiliates. Some of my most rewarding experiences have come from serving on regional and national boards and councils. We have several staff members who have also held offices, such as Richard Stokes in human resources associations.
If you have not already, consider affiliating with a professional organizational. It will enrich your work experience.

I agree that participation in professional associations can be beneficial and rewarding.
I served on the Board for both the IPMA-HR Southern Region and IPMA-HR National. Both provided opportunities to meet with other HR professionals and share ideals and best practices. As president of the Southern Region, I got the opportunity to meet with folks from all over the world interested in how public HR is delivered in the south.
I agree with Dr.Jinks. "If you are not already considereing affiliating with a professioanl organization", then you should. It will enrich and enhance your work experiences.
