I've done it (on a very small level) and it is like starting and running any business. The "association" I started was created to train and assign officials for a rec program (boys and girls, grades 3-12). Most of the officials were high school kids that I recruited, but I also had some "regular" officials from my IAABO board. I was contracted (and paid) to run the program, so I had to negotiate fees, develop and run the training program, supervise the new officials and deal with lots of scheduling conflicts. I did not incorporate, have to deal with insurance or other business issues. The program director was very supportive, which made it a lot easier.
