Jude, A lot of committees have virtual members who don't have to attend conferences to participate in a meaningful way.

Jude,

A lot of committees have virtual members who don’t have to attend conferences to participate in a meaningful way.

Contrary to many other businesses, many libraries (especially smaller ones) will not pay membership dues or have the funds to support conference fees, travel and lodging. It is a sad state of affairs, but a reality. So I have to pick which of a dozen or more related organizations to join. I'm so glad some of you are working from the inside out. Thank you, and keep up the good work! kc I agree with Jude.

I'm a poor librarian. I used to pay my own membership dues, but that was only when I was making 4 times what I'm making now and dues were much less. Therefore, I can't afford it.
