Is there an association of independent info pros?
Yes, the Association of Independent Information Professionals. It is an international association of over 700 people who either own their own businesses or are interested in doing so. Membership is $175 a year, and among the benefits are some great discounts with information vendors, a lively private email discussion list, networking with a large group of helpful, experienced colleagues, and a free informal mentoring program. I joined AIIP before I even went independent, and it was the best investment I ever made.
