Network
Creating professional relationships is important – Joining an industry association allows you to help build relationships with likeminded peers and to form a great professional circle of educational tools and resources. Through these peers, you are able to support and help one another in reaching professional goals.
Digital Alberta and similar associations sponsor many programs throughout the year, and allow you to connect with industry. You can become a member of a committee, ask a peer for advice, share new ideas, or even speak at an event.
Participate in one of our many conferences or workshops and learn about the latest industry news, see "best practices" in action or share new ideas. Another benefit to joining Digital Alberta is to enhance your network and find a mentor to help you with your professional development or become a mentor to someone else.
Take charge of your career
An important reason to consider membership to a professional organization is to take advantage of career resources. We post employment information on the DA website, but often new jobs are discovered by attending events and networking. And we have panels of experts you can contact for specific questions on career issues.
As well, listing your DA membership on your resume is impressive to current or future employers as it shows that you are dedicated to staying connected to your fellow industry professionals.
Broaden your knowledge
In the future we hope to provide access to resource information such as: white papers, articles and case studies written by experts. For the time being our weekly newsletter and blog play host to industry news, trends and events.
The time to join is now…
Whether you are looking to learn about job postings, network in your professional community, gain access to current industry events, or just have some fun while meeting new people, joining Digital Alberta can help.
