Superbly created by Jocelyn Sheppard (redhouseconsulting.com) and her many volunteers, the recent annual meeting of the Association of Independent Information Professionals (aiip.org) gave AIIP members a powerful opportunity to connect and learn from each other. I was privileged to speak there - see http://www.destricker.com/en/past_presentations.html for the March 27 slides.
The conference was so worthwhile, reinforcing my conviction that information professionals have everything to gain from participating actively in their chosen association. Throughout - in the meeting rooms and at the conference events - I saw new professional relationships being formed. That is what an association is all about. I encourage every information professional not already active in a professional association to step up and volunteer.
Together, we accomplish what we cannot achieve alone.
