I think you and I (perhaps others) have arrived at the same destination in our thinking, ie, can the traditional model of association membership be successful for the next 100 years? I'm working on a draft article that suggests legacy membership models may be dead and we may not understand it or why.. Thinking about new models for membership and for organizatonal innovation and entreprenureship may be what's needed for the success of many associations for the next 100 years. Alternatively, we may be banned from the church and burned as heretics--who can say? I do think looking over the horizon takes uncommon, yet necessary courage. It should be a fun journey, eh? Travel safely. Jeff, a good post–while you are in Oz and busy, no less!
