Why it’s important to join a professional organization

Joining a professional organization has many benefits, whether you’re interested in expanding and strengthening your network, developing your career or simply want to be involved.

There are a variety of groups to get involved in like OKC Ad Club, Ad 2 OKC, Public Relations Society of America, Tulsa Young Professionals, Young Professionals in Energy, Young Nonprofit Professionals Network and more.

Here’s why:

• It’s a great resume builder.

• Networking. Networking. Networking.

• Provides leadership experience and an opportunity to give back.

Once you’ve found one, be as involved as possible. Remember, you only get out what you put in.
