My membership has been extremely valuable in helping me maintain professional ties in the very broad field of agricultural and biological engineering, and also in staying up to date with the latest engineering ideas and concepts in my fields. ASABE has also been a great way for me to recruit and hire promising young engineers! Those who show initiative and interest in professional development are most likely to succeed, and I look for membership in a professional society when I am hiring people."
