What region are you in? The networking alone makes APSE worth the cost, IMO. And costs are based on organization size/writers wing. It's not one flat fee alone. At the same time, if your org won't reimburse you, that's difficult.The amount it costs to join the organization is ridiculous. They have one or two events a year and these awards. Last year, the region I am apart of didn't even have a regional meeting. I just don't see the point to being apart of the organization. It's just a line on the resume.
Whether it be networking or what I've learned from more experienced editors at APSE conferences, trainings or regional meetings, it has helped me grow tremendously. I wouldn't be able to be in the spot I'm in today had it not been for APSE.
