Don't Forget to Have Fun
People who work with and for associations work very hard. Most of my consulting is in the "association space," so I can vouch for this first hand. So to those of you working in the association community, I have a message:
Have fun!
Having fun is a part of being human, therefore it should be a part of work. In that vein, I want to point out a new group that has formed primarily (although not totally) with fun in mind: Young Association Professionals, or YAP.
It is starting as a Facebook group, and who knows where it will go. In the spirit of Web 2.0, we don't particularly have a plan for this—we're just experimenting. Even the "Young" part is optional (they let ME in didn't they?).
YAP is having its first DC-based happy hour on May 13th. Check out the Facebook group and join us.

Nice post, Jamie. I'm all for fun. If anyone reading is not on Facebook, YAP also has a LinkedIn group you can join.

And of course we're twittering @yapstar!
See you May 13th!
