Why Should I Join the Chapter?

Networking!

Are you looking for a job, or looking to change jobs? Try job search networking. It’s easy and it really works!  Networking is massively important in landing your next job.  More than 70% of all jobs are found by networking. You can network by contacting friends, people in associations where you are interested in working, and IAAP members, just to name a few.  Take a look at the "Tools" tab of this website; it's loaded with a wealth of resources to aid you in your job search.  

Further your personal and professional development!

Do you desire to keep current in office procedures? Seminars, conferences, even mini-training sessions conducted at chapter meetings can give you the winning edge.
