A voice for the Professional Association’s members, so the public can know who they are and what they do. They promote the profession.
Associations are not supervised by a government authority.
They are self-governing with a Board of Directors that is made up of members of the association.
Most associations will promote the profession they represent.
Membership in an association is voluntary.
Members pay membership dues and volunteer for association tasks to carry out the needs of the association.
Often, members of an association are also members of a Regulated College.
