The professional organization that I chose is AAFCS or American Association of Family and Consumer Services.  The mission of AAFCS is to provide leadership and support for professionals who work with individuals, families, and communities in making informed decisions about their well being, relationships, and resources to achieve optimal quality of life (AAFCS, 2014).  AAFCS provides resources to professionals in the field of human services along with further education through seminars, webinars and interaction with other members.  I feel that that this organization gives me a network of other professionals that allows me to further my ability to grow and further my education so that I become a more well rounded professional that is able to serve my clients to my fullest potential.

In my research, I found the origination of BPW/Ohio( BPW/Ohio, 2013). This is the Business professional woman of Ohio. In being a part of this group will it not only give me the opportunity to network with other business professional woman, it will also keep me updated on what is going on in the business world. It also goes to the political areas and what is going on there. In this group a woman can learn how to be involved in her community and where her community is from a business standpoint. If woman can get together and get more involved with the local business and politics they can archive everything they want.
