Not being anywhere near eligibility for SFWA, thought I'd throw my two cents in here about associations as a whole. I work for a non-profit association in the daylight hours and I have to mention that the entire concept of associations is going through exactly this. The generations (the Traditionalists, the Boomers, the Xers and the Millennials) are at odds over what an association is and should be. I find it all very interesting and very frustrating.
There has to be compromise. There have to be benefits for everyone. You hate to say it, but there will not *be* an association if future generations and up-and-comers are not satisfied. I wonder if SFWA has thought about that.
But, like I said, I say this in general--which is based off mucho trade press stuff I am force fed at work--since I don't have the faintest idea what SFWA does. *g*
