Professional Recognition
In today's fast-paced world it's often easy to forget about the importance of professionalism. The first and foremost benefit of membership is the professional recognition being a member of the AASCIT. Membership is for those that not only know their stuff (and don't misrepresent this), but also commit to continued professional and personal growth and development and active participation in the community of science and technology professionals. Membership of the AASCIT is recognised by your colleagues and clients, current or future employers and the community at large as evidence that you aren't just "in science and technology", but that you're a genuine science and technology professional.
Ongoing Professional Development
Being a professional is more than just knowing your stuff at one point in time, it's about keeping up, and that's especially important in our association. Those who join the Association commit to a programme of continued professional development, and AASCIT continues to make available growth to help our members continue to keep up with the play, and continue to develop themselves as professionals - no matter how experienced they are.
