Professional Associations
Professional associations are an excellent source of information for marketing and management professions. The professional associations listed here are comprised of individuals working within these professions. They are excellent resources for networking, professional development, certifications, and more niche areas of research covering narrow marketing and management topics.
Generally, professional associations require a paid membership to join, and while the library does not generally offer access to paid memberships, these associations often offer limited free content, and they are excellent resources to keep on your radar as an emerging professional. Reduced price memberships might be available for students and new professionals.
