As a member of an organization should you network within your organization, for sure. Should you decide to join JUST so you can network, nope. I feel like the networking opportunity is a privilege but not a reason to join. The missions and purposes of your organization, IMO come first. You join to serve the org, and consequently it will serve you. I can't stand when people "walk through the door" and their first question is "What can you do for me?" I'll tell a chick to kick rocks in half a second.
