Joining IPSE is one of the single most important things a freelancer can do. Freelancing is a fun, exciting, adventure – but it can have its challenges too. And let’s be honest, at times, can be isolating. Joining IPSE is like having a team of cheer leaders who have your back every step of the way. They have information at their fingertips, lobby on your behalf and keep you constantly connected. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend joining IPSE, it gives you such a strong sense of being part of a wider community and that your voice matters.
