Articles::  Joining Associations To Network

---

There are broadly two types of associations : industry-specfic and general business.

Industry-Specific Associations

• There are many benefits in joining industry associations. As a member, you will be able to:
  • keep abreast of the advances in your industry
  • exchange ideas and learn from the more experienced members
  • work together with others in your industry to combine your various strengths and raise your profile
  • learn of new opportunities to participate in projects
  • identify potential partners for new ventures
• You should not let the fear of meeting potential competitors keep you from joining industry associations.

General Business Associations

• General business associations provide you with the opportunity to meet people outside your industry.
• These associations are usually grouped by areas of interest. For instance, the Singapore Business Federation is a cross-industry association that focuses on helping businesses grow, especially in overseas markets
• So if you are thinking of entering a particular market, it might be fruitful to join these associations.
