Abstract

Although much is said about the benefits to be derived by educators from membership in professional organizations, membership in such organizations has fallen short of the potential number. For example, in the American Vocational Association (AVA) membership decreased by 4,186 to 40,514 in 1987 according to the AVA Assembly of Delegates list for the 1987 AVA Convention. Buzzell (1987) estimated there were more than 250,000 vocational educators (potential members) in 1986 in the United States. The National Vocational Agricultural Teachers Association (NVATA) experienced similar trends with 7,787 members out of a possible 12,792 members in 1987 (S. Stenzel, personal communication, August 17, 1987).
