I’m a big believer that you get out of an organization or membership exactly what you put into it. So, over the years I’ve been a member and active volunteer for several organizations. I also believe in giving back to my profession. Over the years these organizations helped me find jobs, clients, expand my knowledge, and more! The closest to my heart at this time are:
- Association for Change Management Professionals
Member since 2020. In Spring 2024, I volunteered to co-host a book club for the Pacific Northwest Chapter. Later the book club turned into a Portland-based social event. Once a month 6-10 change managers meet to share their practice and get to know their community. - International Association for Business Communicators
Member on and off since after I graduated from college. Served as a board member in the Orange County, CA and Silicon Valley, CA chapters. I event tried to revive the Oregon-Columbia Chapter, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. Now, I’m a member at Large of the United States region. Who knows, maybe there’s a volunteer opportunity in the future.
