For years, this group was run by the same small clique who founded the organization to promote themselves and their business. You couple their self-serving, sometimes snooty attitude (for years, I was treated like the freshman of the group) with a low ROI and you discourage membership renewal. I'm going to check-out IdeaXchange. They sound cool. Any thoughts on Media Bistro. Thanks for your posts.

Media Bistro - haven't had much to do with them. You? @Sherree - ah ha, you read right into my little subterfuge :) Yes, that group has been one I waver about.

I've been plotting my next moves and was wondering what people thought about these types of groups - and I value your experience and counsel. Thanks a ton. Great mini-series, Amy.
