Easy, pick the one you like and join it. It is that simple. All associations have different rules and guidelines to join, but for the most part, you pay your dues for the year, you are a member.
Look up on the IHSA website (ihsa.org) and look under "Officials Associations." Call the contact person and see what he or she has to say. Everyone is very different, and you might join more than one for different reasons. It is all up to you. I am a member of 3 associations myself. Each has a different benefit.

Yes, I am a new official and thank you for your recommendations, I will take you up on them.
Since I am new, I was wondering if anyone would explain the Official's organization structure and how I would go about joining it in Chicago. Secondly, any tips you may have to in order to approach this new adventure in such a way that I get the most out of it early on?
Thanks everyone!!
