Professional organization

I finally joined my first professional organization: The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA).

I was told about this organization from a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reporter that I met when we were reporting on the same event. She suggested I join, despite the fact that I’m not Asian.

I’m considering applying for a leadership position with the organization, but first I want to check out one of their meetings.

As a member I get a lot of benefits, which is cool. I guess it was about time that I start hobnobbing and networking with others in my field.
