Help yourself: How membership in the IEST benefits you

摘要

So, how's your career going? Are you satisfied with your place in the industry? Have you reached the pinnacle of your profession? Do you know as much as you'd like to know? Are you looked upon as the technical go-to person in your organization? Do you know anyone who would answer positively to all these questions? I know some of them. I belong to several professional societies, am active in one or two, and see these people all the time. I see these people at trade shows, at local events, and sometimes on the job. These are the people who are at the top of their game, and one of the reasons for that is their affiliation with, and participation in, professional organizations within their industry.
