Joining Professional Organizations

[trey25624]

I'm a civil engineer, just obtained my PE license. I've started thinking a bit more about my career goals, and feel that joining a professional organization could be a great benefit. I do have interest in starting my own business and figure that this would be a good way to start networking to build a potential client base. I'm thinking ASCE would be a good one to get involved in. Anyone, particularly civils, have some advice or input on how useful these types of organizations can be?

Thanks

If you just earned your PE, consider joining NSPE.
