Q. What professional associations in Human Resources should I join?A. I have linked most major Human Resource related associations at this resource. I have found the Society for Human Resource Management and the American Society for Training and Development most useful over the years for my work. Your membership in a professional association, related to your area of concentration in the Human Resources field, will be dependent upon your interests and professional development needs. Certainly, you can attend meetings and training and conference events, but your most significant payback will accrue from serving in leadership roles within the associations. You will make professional networking contacts and help direct the course of your professional associations work. Professional associations often drive the work of professionals in your field of interest. Many professional associations have local chapters. Depending upon their convenience to your location, you can obtain valuable leadership and professional experience serving in leadership and volunteer roles within your local organizations.
