lorax, Correct! It really gave me a great training in introducing myself to "strangers" last year I was on the membership comity; I still like it but too much admin paperwork, other than that: A great experience.
Because of it (And because I am in the States close by large metropolis) I was able to sign a contract in the high 5 figures with potentially many more to come from the same source.
So it paid for my membership :)
