Name (Optional):
1. Which of the following
statements best describes you? (Rate
from 1-6, using each number only once -- 1 best describes you.)
I don't need to read any more
"tips" and advice on how to run my home career -- there's
too much information out there already. But I would LOVE to meet
some people that do what I do, and share advice and support in
that way.
I don't see having the time
to go to meetings, but if the NAEP
publications ("A Parent's Guide to Home Business" and
subscription to the print version of EPnews) contain pertinent
information and "speaks" to me directly, that alone
would justify my membership.
I would enjoy actively participating
in NAEP by serving on committees and task forces.
I like getting involved.
I'm looking to submit articles
to NAEP publications so I can exercise my writing
skills and spread the word about what I do.
I need an organization that
enhances the image of my work choice. I'm tired of not being
taken seriously because I work at home.
I want to be part of an organization
that shares my values, such as balancing work and life at my
own pace, planning long-range career goals that include diverse
work options, and having the freedom to pursue my personal and
professional goals creatively.
Please indicate other ways you
might value an organization for work-at-home parents.
