How do you join a business?

Set out goals for your association membership. Goals may include meeting other local business owners, raising your profile in your industry or making contact with potential clients.

2

Decide on joining an industry-focused group or a general group. Local associations open to general business membership can be a way to network and share local marketing tips. The chamber of commerce is often a good place to start. Industry-specific groups can be valuable sources for training, getting involved in lobbying and keeping up on changes to regulations and other important industry news.

3

Talk to other business owners in your area and industry. Find out what associations they are actively involved in. Ask which associations they find worthwhile and why.

4

Conduct an Internet search to find relevant associations. Association websites usually feature information on the goals of the organization, who the members are and what events are upcoming.

5

Evaluate dues and fees. Some association memberships are costly. Being involved in multiple associations can add up over time. Stick with the associations that help you reach the goals you set out for yourself.

6

Attend a meeting to get a better idea of what the organization does and who is involved. If a meeting isn't handy, contact the organization's membership coordinator to get answers to any questions you may have.

7

Fill out a membership form and pay your dues. Membership forms are often available through an association's website or at a meeting. Introduce yourself to existing members and ask for ways that you can get involved.
