It seems to me that your question is not so much about joining IAABO, as it is about being the "new guys" in a merger situation. If I'm right about that, then the people that you really need to talk to are the officers of the local IAABO board that you'll be joining. Ask them straight-out how new members with significant experience can expect to be treated.
If they tell you that you'll be treated just like rookies and have to work your way back up to a varsity schedule, then you may decide against merging. If they tell you that the top-rated 20% of your old board will receive varsity schedules, then maybe you consider it.
But I don't think anybody here can answer that for you. It will all depend on the people within that IAABO board and the assignor for that area. Good luck. I hope it goes smoothly for you.
