JOINING PROFESSIONAL AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS
Professional and social organizations are groups of people that come together based on a common interest or hobby. Becoming a member in a professional and social organization is a great way to network and connect with people. Typically, professional and social organizations have an online home, such as a website, Facebook page or forum, where communities can share ideas and stay in contact and will hold events to allow their members to interact in-person more frequently. The guide below is meant to provide an overview of the process of joining professional and social organizations in Houston.
