Intresting..... we have the highest average membership cost... hmmm. Yet IHQ keeps telling us that they are cash-strapped, and expects us to pck-up more and more of the tab when it comes to GA and regionals. Paying transit, hotel, and registration worked out to be roughly $3000 CDN to send two guys to regionals.... so we didn't go.

Once again I would like to point out that they could save a shit-load of cash by doing a conference up here in Canada (London or Toronto). Favourable exchange rate, with the same hotel chains that they are trying to build a "working-relationship" with.... damn if they like the Renaissance hotels so much come to Toronto.... the Renaissance here is the Skydome! Seriously London would probably be the best choice... active Greek community, small city always looking for summer revenue (after all the students leave), and cheap hotels (most expensive is around $300 US a night for a 41/2 star).
