KABHE offers development and
connections with others in your field and enhance your business profile. Involvement in a professional association on your resume says you are very
committed to your profession and actively participating in its
advancement. Clients, customers, and employers like that.
Here’s a tip that you can use all your life: Don’t just show up;
volunteer! Attending a meeting and the Annual conference is great for face time, but it
may also mean that you’ll get a reputation as an observer instead of a
participant. If you really want to get to know people and showcase your
own abilities, get involved as a leader. Serve on a committee, volunteer for an
event, and/or become a board member. These volunteer activities build
long-lasting relationships and potential business opportunities. Real commitment is involvement. Just showing up is never enough.
There is no quicker pick-me-up than becoming involved with something you
feel passionate about which give you access to
like-minded professionals while you serve the community. Becoming involved introduces you to people from all
walks of life—and those people know other people, so developing
relationships with them could lead to business and referrals. It also
looks great on a resume or bio, but again, if the cause is something
close to your heart, then you’ll be that much more enthused about
serving. Don’t do it just because you are looking for a referral or a
line-item on your resume. Do it because you want to make a difference.
Regardless of your objective, becoming involved in any organization is
about developing meaningful relationships from which you will learn and
hopefully grow. This means a commitment of
personal time and, oftentimes, resources in terms of membership fees or
fundraising. The bottom line is that consistent and active involvement
is the key to successfully developing relationships and business
opportunities.
