Benefits of Membership
With the stress of everyday life combined with the ever-changing demands of a career, potential members often want to know “What’s in it for me?” when considering whether to join a local chapter or not. It often represents an investment of time and energy with seemingly little in return. Our members enjoy these benefits from belonging to a local chapter:
- A network of ”close-to-home” colleagues with whom you can share ideas, solve problems, and explore partnering opportunities in workplace learning and performance improvement projects
- An opportunity to increase your professional network and affiliations
- Joint meetings and conferences with other area organizations that provide additional personal development and networking opportunities
- A comprehensive understanding of the demographics unique to our local region and the local/regional workplace learning and performance industry
- Interaction with local and regional learning and performance improvement experts, including those associated with area colleges and universities
- Personal leadership development through chapter board membership and involvement, and/or subcommittee participation
- Mini-conferences, workshops and education programs targeted at growing members’ professional development
- Fun and social interaction with many of the brightest, most innovative people in West Michigan
