I disagree that this discussion should be on Chat. We have far more folks on the Forum that could and should be members. The message needs to be here. As for eligibility, why not send in the application and let the good folks at AFSA decide if you're eligible. No general statement will ever be able to cover everyones' circumstances. For instance, I'm an educator, consultant, occasional designer, and the executive director for the AFSA/PacNW Chapter. I don't think I fully fall into any category but really think I ought to be a member. AFSA thinks so to. I encourage all of you on the Forum that aren't members to at least apply. If you're not a contractor it's very inexpensive and if you are it's still inexpensive considering the value you get. I belong to lots of EIEIO organizations and this is one hell of a good one for what you get back (besides alphabet soup after your name), I tell you what (a nod to Hank Hill and Texas).
