Enter organizations that you participate in for your professional growth and development.
Definition
Professional, civic or personal organizations that you are a member of, usually industry- or job-related.
Tips
Do not list any affiliations, such as a political affiliation, that are not job-related and could be considered controversial.
Participation in professional and personal affiliations shows that you are involved -- and keep current -- with your industry. It can also demonstrate other important skills and attributes. Spell these out, if relevant.
Show how job-related affiliations and personal affiliations have given you skills and attributes which are essential requirements for your target job.
Spell out organization's full name and follow with the acronym in parentheses (if there is one).
You can include affiliations which are no longer active. Just include dates so as not to be misleading.
List names of the organizations with which you are affiliated. Or expand to include months/years of membership, titles held, committees served on, awards won.
