Robin ,
Fantastic! It is my understanding the organization offers free online courses for members, which is a valuable benefit!

I belong to the American Dental Hygienists Association which continues to keep its members abreast of political and scientific changes in the field. With evidence-based research continually mounting/changing it is imperative for the health of our patients to stay up-to-date.
Kerri ,
Scholarship opportunities as well as the fantastic conventions are just a couple of the advantages of NBEA membership. The discounts on travel are a great added perk as well!
Wishing you continued success in the classroom.

I belong to the National Business Ed Association and my employer pays for it. The biggest benefit I have is being able to look into many resources and business journals, as well as, getting discounts on insurance and rental cars.
Yes I do belong to two different professional organizations in my field. Networking is probably the biggest benefit. Educational benefits are also high!
The only thing I can thing of is ASE Certification. That is and organization that performs test on automotive and other training. We are required to be ASE certified to instruct the course we teach.
I am currently involved with several professional organizations. I think being involved will help keep you in the informed and up to date on various topics in your field of study. Sometimes you also can gain access to different websites or online seminars that are free
I, and all of our instructors, do currently belong to an organization that requires testing on a 5 year schedule. Tests must be passed in order to maintain membership. The benefit for us and our students is being updated with new material. The challenge for our instructors is remaining current.
Yes I currently belong to the AMTA (American Mass age Therapy Association), I have my insurance through them and all of my continuing education credits are offered with this organization. I keep updated with all of the new masssage techniques through their newsletter as well. This organization has great benefits to me in my field.
I currently belong to three of the four major organizations in my field. It is great and keeps me updated!
I currently hold a couple of certifications from organizations related to the field I teach in, and belong to an organization that directly links to my field. The main benefit I have gained for my affiliation is the knowledge of more experienced people in the field. Being able to connect with people that have similar interests and being able to find out what has and has not worked for them has been a great benefit.
I do not currently belong to and groups. I have recently began teaching after working for many years in the field and I am teach now. I think the benefit is in staying current with the technology in my field as it is in power generation and green energy and the field is very dynamic.
I agree. It is so important for faculty to stay current in their field of study.
I strongly encourage all faculty to belong to professional organizations. I currently belong to AERA. This is an excellent opportunity to network, exchange best practices and attend conferences.
I am a member of several National professional organizations and they do benifit me professionally, but as the trend is nowadays, most of the interactions are done Online. We do have yearly seminars that we can go and participate and yearly trade shows that showcases the industry trends and up and comming products.
There are also some good benifits that comes from being certified in several different classes of experiances.
I am currently associated with an organization that is related to my field except I don't really see to many benefits. They have meetings & conferences except many take place in another state or they occur during a time when I'm not available in a city that's a bit far away. It's mostly there to say you belong to or are a member of that organization.
No, I currently do not. I do believe however it can keep you up to date in your filed.
Our school has a very strict copyright policy. We also have own curriculum department.
I belong to the ACF and Chaine Rotisseur which are both culinary organizations which greatly help with networking and knowledge of new trends in the industry that we can pass along to the students. I feel these types of organizations are very helpful in getting the students on the road to a career because i can call a chef that i know through one of these organizations and aid them in deciding whether a student is a right fit for them in their restaurant or not.
I belong to American Culinary Federation and Eta Sigma Delta international honors society.
