Value of Institute membership

The question of membership in professional societies is one which arises early in the career of all engineers. The desirability of belonging to such organizations must naturally be the result of individual benefit received from it. Experience has shown that those things which are desired by many individuals can best be obtained through some form of organization, and a professional society, such as the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, should supply the common desires of a professional nature on the part of electrical engineers.
