I belong to the HTML Writer's Guild, DigitalEve Chicago, and ChiPHPug
(Chicago PHP User's Group). They all have varying levels of *requirements*
for membership.
You might also want to look for WITI (Women In Technology International at
http://www.witi.com/index-c.shtml) and AIP (Association of Internet
Professionals) which has a list of US chapters at
http://www.association.org/chapters.cfm#usa.
I really like evolt.org -- great ideas and advice -- but the face-to-face,
sit down and have coffee type of thing is also nice. I work alone here and
it keeps me from getting *stale.* It's also a nice chance to get my name
out there just in case someone has some *overflow.*
A quick search at Google turned up tons of associations, I chose the above
groups because those are the ones I know about.
Good luck!
