Yeah, I see your point, definitely a lot of irons in the fire, seems convoluted, but it really isn't.

The three levels of IAABO (international, state, local) are always 100% on the same page with two (spring and fall) international meetings annually that are well attended by state and local interpreters (usually paid for with our local annual dues).

IAABO International is "in bed" with the NFHS, having a permanent seat the annual NFHS rules committee meeting.

Our state association (CIAC) is a "kissing cousin" of the NFHS.

Our state association depends greatly on state and local IAABO interpreters for all of it's rule and interpretation advice (our state association has an officials only branch), seldom getting into any rule and interpretation debate, leaving that stuff to the "pros" (we're whatcha call rule experts).
