I live in one of those areas where you can be an IAABO member, but all you get is materials for your dues. They do not assign and most members of organizations are not members or have anything to do with IAABO directly. It would be a complete waste of time and energy to become a member in that case. You are just paying for papers and nothing else. They do not run regular meetings or vote on anything or have a say in who works or does not work. The only value in it I see is if you decide to move to the east coast and some parts of the south and then the membership might have some meaning.
