As an information technology professional, I know the benefit of staying current in the industry. Things evolve fast in the IT world, so one must stay motivated to continual education. For me, becoming a member of the NPA has allowed me to network with other like-minded professionals. With monthly public webinars on interesting topics, and member advocator meetings with seasoned professionals speaking about their career, I find it a great place to be associated.

Since 1993, the Network Professional Association has been a community and advocator for the IT/Network computing profession. To be identified as true professionals, the NPA's international membership adheres to a code-of-ethics, continual demonstrated professional development, adherence and knowledge of the latest best practice standards, and strives for continual growth.

In addition to being part of a trade association that advocates for the IT/Networking industry, you as a professional member will have the opportunity to volunteer for the Governors Council, where you will gain experience managing meeting, activities, and being a mentor for other members.

Affiliation with a professional trade association, is a great way to better your knowledge and further your career.
