Why join an association?
• to enjoy a sense of belonging to something
• to identify oneself with a phenomenon
• the "weight of numbers" - together, people have a more authoritative voice
• improve one's curriculum vitae - demonstrate greater seriousness or more command of the field.

• to have the products of the association (take courses, read newsletters and journals, etc.)
• to get to know people, institute a dialogue with experts or others
• to gain greater visibility in the social environment of work.
