Professional associations can be listed in the "Memberships" or "Affiliations" section of a resume, which is typically located near the bottom of the document.
This section can also include any other relevant professional organizations or groups that you are a part of. The information for each association should include the name of the organization and the dates of your membership. If you held any leadership roles within the association, such as being a board member or committee chair, you should also list those roles along with the association name.
