What is a trade or professional association?

• Individuals and companies in a specific business

  interests.

  bricks of a building in place, associations go
  largely unnoticed, yet do much to hold the entire
  structure together. Jim Collins

Why Take Part In An Association?

• Every person owes a part of his time and money
  to the business or industry in which he is
  engaged. No person has a moral right to withhold
  his support from an organization that is striving
  to improve conditions within his
  sphere. Theodore Roosevelt

60

• Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
  committed citizens can change the world. Indeed,
  it is the only thing that ever has.
  Margaret Mead
