There is always the Orchid Digest and local Orchid Societies which all seem to do just fine without much in the way of help from AOS.

The directory is, I assume, for telemarketers and spammers, to whom they will sell quite a few. Enjoy! There are many who disagree with the direction the AOS has been taking recently, from turning the Journal into a slick glossy commercial rag in which, frankly, I'm hard pressed to find anything worth more than a passing glance, to the way the AOS is marketing itself and the tiny, tiny percentage of its income spent on education and conservation. The Board does not care. They have their own vision and woe betide the membership if they disagree. After all, it's all about the board members, right, not the membership? It's the old 'tail wagging the dog' thing that all bureaucracies fall into. They forget they are only there to carry out our wishes, not tell us what our wishes should be.
