Aren't the current WISP dues like $250 ish / year? (that really isn't that much)

It also means that at some point organization will have to be established with committees to handle recruiting new, paid members; vendors; etc. Vendors need to get ROI - pay back on the membership fee. Vendors need member support, just as members need Vendor support. If you have a favorite vendor, why not ask them to join WISPA? It's your org and you need to help it grow and thrive as well. (It's not just the Board who's unpaid job it is to do all the heavy lifting). I have been on the Board at 2 ISP associations (names withheld on purpose :). Members always complain about the dues. My suggestion was that we reduce the dues based on hours spent working for the ORG. So if you were active on 2 committees, perhaps your dues were reduced by 50 or 65%. Just a thought to bat around. Same with a vendor. Some vendors cannot cost justify $1000 per year. For instance, a DSL modem company would have to move 1000 modems or more to ROI the membership fee. Just some early morning ramblings. - Peter @ RAD-INFO, Inc.
