PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS REVIEW AND REPORT

For this assignment, due by the end of Week 3 of the course, students will research and report on the organizations listed with their corresponding websites below and write a one and a half page summary of EACH organization's purpose/structure/function/mission/benefits and resources it offers to members and the general public (if public resources are available). All 5 organization reports must be submitted in a single paper with the organizations used as divider headers. This paper must contain paraphrases of organization website contents with proper APA source crediting in the paper body, a title pg., abstract and an attached "Reference(s)" page and with no content copied directly from the sites (the latter constitutes plagiarism and will void the assignment points and result in a course grade of "F" if more than one instance is detected). No papers will be accepted an an emailed attachment unless previously agreed upon. Please attach your paper to the appropriate assignment tab in the classroom.
