I'm considering cutting all ties & canceling my membership with a professional teacher's organization that I've a member of for over 25 years. Their concerns seem to be members to push recruiting other people to join instead of spreading training, travel, and tokens of appreciation opportunities to us all. It seems as memberships increase, only usual same ones (& certain areas) are given opportunities for training outside of the local area or state. My desire to recruit is very minimal to none.
