This was the problem that I had with IAABO. Too many levels of bureaucracy leading to everyone having their hand in your pocket. Someone has to pay for those national conventions which they hold!

Having worked multiple states, I am a fan of IAABO, because it's training is better than what I've seen in non-IAABO states and its motto of one interpretation promotes consistency

I have no problem kicking in a few more bucks so the board interpreter can attend a convention; the pre-season rules and interpretation sessions run by folks coming back from IAABO are more thorough, and show better understanding of the the relationship between rules and reffing than those in non-IAABO jurisdictions.
