Industry Associations to Join

From networking to advocacy, which groups are worth it?

I’d start with IFT if you’re on the QA/R&D side — local sections and a decent job board; attend once and volunteer and you’ll meet half the room fast: https://www.ift.org. If you’re more on ops/equipment, FPSA or PMMI events can be great, but dues can be steep, so ask for a guest pass before committing. What role are you in?
