How to start a professional association in the UK? Would anyone provide any information on how to start an association in the UK and the law behind it? Particularly relating to register it (if needed), tax, revenue, etc. I would like to start an association because as a qualified professional I would like to make my area of profession avaliable to a much more wider audience and provide practicing professionals and non professionals (students) with affordable access to a database of which they can join and make their profession and personal contact details available to other people and potential clients. This would be around complementary therapies, such as counselling, psychotherapy, etc. I am also wanting to offer training courses to people wanting to start a career in these areas. Please help with any information. Thank you.
in Texas, is the owner of a professional association individually liable for negligence? I know that many doctors and dentists chose to create professional associations to conduct their business. My question is whether a doctor or dentist can be sued in his/her individual capacity for negligent work, or can a plaintiff only recover from the professional association? Basically, is there a shield of liability for a professional association similar to that afforded to corporations? Thanks! Citation to any authority would be much appreciated.
What do you call experience that was gained from a hobby or professional association? Is it still called professional experience even if you werent paid or hired to do the skill? What if it was a hobby that earned a little money such as selling and trading collectibles? It was not a liveable wage, just enough money to fund the hobby. I am trying to complete a resume and want to include the skills learned from scouting, collecting and selling used rare and collectible books. Im just not sure if you can include those skills under the heading of Professional Skills unless you were paid/hired to do it.

How do you become a member of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association? What is the criteria? Do you apply? Is it by nomination? Appointment?

Thanks Cyren....you would make for a fine INFORMED vote. How many of these guys do you think are partial to the players in the city they write for?

Why and when to join professional associations? I've come across organizations in my field, ie the American Politicsl Science Association. I haven't joined any of them yet because I'm not working and I'm not fully sure what the benefits are aside from the member perks of discounts, exclusive info, etc. I know on CVs and what not memberships are listed. Can they help advance your career? Are they more for interesting facts (like interests are) than helpful career advancement? Are they worth noting if you becoming a member and pay the dues but don't participate in their events (due to lack of time, logistics, etc.) I also haven't joined due to the fact that they are fairly expensive--but I might based on the answers I'm getting.

Is it worth it to hire a professional organizer? I am always wasting time looking for things, and sometimes it costs me money to replace things I can't find- so why shouldn't I just spend the time and money with a professional organizer to help me with this problem, so it doesn't happen again? My husband thinks it's a waste of money and time... I work full time and have 3 kids, and I'm drowning in papers and clutter. Should I go for it ? I found someone for 60 dollars an hour, and they are a member of the national professional organizer's association. What do y'all think?

Is there a place I can recruit people to sign up to test the beta launch of a professional networking tool? In return, they'd get access to this free site which is an online scheduling and networking tool. I am deliberately not mentioning the site because I don't want to be accused of advertising. I've tried to offer it to members of bar associations and other professional organizations but they all want us to buy ads and we are not at that stage. We are looking for a member base to let us know what improvements we can make. Thank you. It is not specifically for lawyers, we are just trying to reach out to professional organizations because we feel like this could be a useful professional networking and scheduling tool. It happened to be designed by a lawyer for his own needs and he would now like to offer it to the public.

What are the approximate federal and state tax rates for professional sport athletes? Ok, I was browsing the net, and I found the NHL players association website www.nhlpa.com. The salaries of some of those hockey players are really huge, like $7,800,000 for the year + various bonuses. Does anyone knows what is the actual take-home pay of professional athletes in the US, I mean what are the tax rates for them on the state and federal level? LOL I can imagine a feeling of a guy who receives his bi-weekly paycheck for $300,000!!! What am I going to do with all these money???
What are the advantages to a Real Estate agent operating as a Professional Association? I am currently completing my pre-licensing course to become a FL Real Estate agent. I'm putting together a rough plan for operating my real estate agent business and have noticed that many local real estate agents operate as a PA (which I believe is the same as a professional corporation used for lawyers, doctors, etc...). What are the tax / liability advantages to operating this way? Is this the best entity to use for this business. I went to business school, so I understand the basic benefits of Corporations and LLC's, but I'm not familiar with these specific applications.
