"A professional is someone who can do his best work when he doesn't feel like it."
- Alistair Cooke
(1908­ ) English journalist living in America and reporting on America to England

"A young boy was walking with his father along a country road. When they came across a very
large tree branch the boy asked, "Do you think I could move that branch?" His father answered,
"If you use all your strength, I'm sure you can." So the boy tried mightily to lift, pull and push the
branch but he couldn't move it. Discouraged he said, "Dad, you were wrong. I can't do it." His dad
said, "Try again." This time, as the boy struggled with the branch his father joined him and
together they pushed the branch aside. "Son," the father said, "the first time you didn't use all
your strength. You didn't ask me to help."

Advantages of Professional Memberships and Networking
Like any other group of professionals, we're always looking to build our professional networks,
find career advice and uncover new industry resources. One way to further these goals is through
becoming a member of a professional organization. The affiliation must not only provide a value
to the individual, but should enhance or maximize the performance of the person to ultimately benefit the organization.
Some associations have membership counts in the thousands, and it can be difficult to navigate such a vast crowd.
