TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Here are some of the associations that I have come across. I haven't
joined any of them yet, so can't say which is the best. I can say that
I see the HTML Writers Guild the most often, with the International
Society of Internet Professionals coming in a distant second.

Software Support Professionals Association (more for software support
personnel than webmasters)
http://www.gag.org/
Graphic Artists Guild (not actually a webmaster association, but many
webmasters are members)
Good luck in your selections. I know I'll probably join one eventually,
it's just coughing up the membership dues.
