In professional organizations

Qualified physical educators may find employment in one of the many professional or specific sport organizations such as AAHPERD, NCAA, National Federation of State High School Associations (NFSHSA), Ladies Professional Golf Association, or United States Tennis Association (USTA). The jobs available in professional organizations vary, depending on the nature of the organization and its size. Entry level managerial positions may be available dealing with the day-to-day operations of the organization. Other positions may entail fund raising, handling public relations, conducting membership drives, and directing special projects. If the organization sponsors a national convention, professionals are needed to assist in this endeavor; providing support and guidance to members preparing for local and regional conventions and coordinating meetings of the organization may also be part of one's responsibilities. Writing for the organization's newsletter and editing its periodicals are also jobs performed by individuals working for professional organizations. Professionals are also needed to serve as liaisons with the various committees of the organization. Still other positions in the organization may involve conducting special research projects, gathering data and performing statistical analyses.

Individuals interested in this kind of career can obtain further information by contacting professional organizations in their area of interest. A complete listing of professional organizations may be found in the Encyclopaedia of Associations; this book will likely be located at the reference desk of most libraries. Some organizations, AAHPERD, for example, may offer internships to students. Students interested in internships should write to the organization requesting information on these opportunities.
