If NRAAC charged something for membership, and built value in it's organization, something might happen in a positive direction. Also, if they returned emails, that'd be nice too. i've sent 3-4 over the last 6 months, with NO response.

REPTILES had a good blurb on PIJAC (www.pijac.org), but their site is currently being reconstructed.
I whole-heartedly agree this is a major issue! United efforts from all the states would be nice.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a "National Herp Societies conference", where the Officers and Directors from all the state herp societies could get together for a weekend and get things done!?

Anyway, just a thought.

: I am very depressed when I think about how we as a hobby have been unable to come togeather and keep just one advocicy group going to protect our intrestes as herptoculturlists? If we wont whole heartedly support NRAAC, who will we support? Who will we turn to? Who will protect our intrests on a national level?
: Do we think we have enough 'good will' from the genral public...to keep the hobby safe?
