the Cost of Professional Memberships and Organizations

Membership fee (yearly) for admission into a professional organization relating to tax problem resolution. Membership provides for monthly teleseminars as well as instant access to past teleseminars. Membership also gives a discount on the fee to attend physical seminars. These seminars are usually held 2 times per year in various locations throughout the country. This discount also applies to purchases of past seminar materials (i.e. Binder of materials provided at seminar, dvds of seminar, cd recording of seminar, etc.) Membership also includes a quarterly newsletter to keep memebers up to date on changes and trends in the field. The membership also provides for networking oppertunities within the field. Other memeber are available to assist with any questions you may have.

The service is a great bargin if you take advantage of the offerings. The discount on the physical seminars id usually 5%. The contact person for the organization is also very helpful and is always available to answer questions or to send out addtional information when requested. The teleseminars are very informative and relevant to the current atmosphere in the tax problem resolution field. Some of the speakers at the seminars are accessible after the seminars. I have emailed a few when questions arose in our office and they were quick to respond with advice.

The teleseminars are available to download. For me, it is useful to burn them to a cd and then listen to them whenever I get a chance. I don't need to have an internet connection available.
