Consider getting involved in a committee or council

Show
Being involved in a committee or council that interests you has multiple benefits. You learn about information like technical solutions and building code developments first, make connections with other like-minded professionals, and have an opportunity to influence both the direction and advocacy of the association. The first step is normally to get involved at the local level of your association. From there, you may be chosen to represent your area at the national level.
