professional orgs.

What professional organization do you belong to and how does it benefit you? By this, I mean how does it really benefit other than looking good on a resume? I am befuddled by the lack of conservative professional organizations for nurses. While I respect political diversity, I am finding a great lack of representation for conservativism among nursing organizations. In fact I cannot find one that doesn't take my money for the liberal agenda in my state or on a national level. Would love to hear if others are finding a similar situation (where you are) and what you are doing about it.
