IAWP helps you grow your career and your network
IAWP has been an important part of my career growth over the last 28 years.
I joined when I was a front line staff person in an unemployment office and retired after 38 years as a senior manager in my agency.

Over the years, I have learned so much from attending IAWP events and conferences.
I recently interviewed for a promotion and was able to use my experience from IAWP on my resume as well as in the answers to my questions during the interviews.
