- I owe it to myself and my students to help my profession
move forward at the state and national levels.
|
- It takes strength in numbers and concerted action to
accomplish anything worthwhile.
|
- Through Membership in my association, I can obtain reports
and publications prepared with my professional needs in mind.
|
- The regular meetings, workshops and conferences I, or
members of my staff, attend provide ideas and information obtained in no other way.
|
- I have many friends among the members - people I enjoy being
with for friendship's sake as well as for professional reasons. My life is richer and more
worthwhile because I belong.
|
- Committee efforts and other association activities enable me
to contribute - to do my part for the profession, the schools, students, and the general
good.
|
- The cost of belonging is small compared to what I get in
return - extremely low rent for the space I occupy in the profession.
|
- Even when other problems command my full attention, the
officers, directors, and the association office keep working in my interest. At such
times, maintaining my membership is a vote of confidence in them.
