Professional Affiliation
Affiliation with a professional association is a boon to your
resume. We know from over a decade of recent experience that employers
and clients prefer to hire and retain candidates who demonstrate
a tangible commitment to their personal development, who are involved
in community activities and who advance their career through education.
Members tell us that they prefer to work with employers and clients
who value their professionalism – they get the chance to do a better
job, often at better rates. That rate increase alone more than pays
the membership fee.
For over a decade The Network Professional Association has built
a reputation for promoting professionalism in the networking industry.
When you join, you buy a piece of that reputation and the opportunity
to enhance it by getting involved. It is expected that, as a member,
