Join a Community of PracticeOne of the many benefits of being a member of IAP2 Canada is the ability to connect with other practitioners in similar fields. The purpose of Communities of Practice (CoP) is to provide members with a way to meet other practitioners, extend networks, learn from each other, and share ideas and issues. Members build their skills and knowledge in their particular industry, while supporting others. Groups can support professionals at all stages of development. An important aspect is to provide a safe, confidential space for members to share issues they may be having and access a ‘brains trust’ to benefit from the experiences of others. Many engagement practitioners work alone or in small groups, so these groups will provide valuable encouragement, support, development and a sounding board.
