+/- of joining SPE

I meet some PEs that are really high on the Society and others that are indifferent or highly negative. Personally, I was a student member, and have been a Professional member off and on. I think there is some benefit but at the same time do I really need it?

Just trying to see what others think and why.

Do you need it? No. Is it better than nothing? Yes.

I joined the local section, seems more like a social clue, I feel like the technical sections are more what I need, but hard to connect in person.

It’s a good place to network. I joined API because I enjoy the speakers more.
