Contact our Membership chair T.J. Britton at DMCMembership@gmail.com
or see the IAAP page http://www.iaap-hq.org/join/ for details.
Why join the Downtown Milwaukee Chapter of IAAP?
Networking:
- Get to know who the "movers and shakers" are in your field.
- Learn about companies--or individuals--with whom you would like to work.
- Offer information about upcoming conferences and professional development opportunities.
With your membership, you will have access to local member information and the ability to connect with IAAP members all over the country through the IAAP website community. Why "reinvent the wheel" to solve a problem when someone in our area probably has had the same experience?
Continuing Education:
You will be notified of upcoming conferences. Whether at the local, state, or national level, professional conferences offer excellent opportunities to:
- Build your network of professionals in the field.
- Learn the latest developments in your field.
- Take professional courses and seminars to help you and your company.
Professional Development:
By becoming involved in IAAP activities, they bring many of the intrinsic rewards of the profession – associating with individuals who do what you do, understand your joys and frustrations, have weathered the same storms – it’s an important part of renewing and refreshing who you are and why you continue in this career.
Leadership Development:
Volunteering for committee work or to be a board member or officer helps develop professional skills that will advance the career of those who are considering an eventual switch to administration, personnel preparation, or management. Two of our past chapter presidents received promotions during their tenure. Coincidence? Maybe.
Information:
You'll receive the OfficePro Magazine and several newsletters which are helpful to keep you up-to-date on issues and developments in your field.
BONUS - An IAAP membership is an excellent addition to your resume! There are few better ways to show your serious commitment to the field.
