23 hours and counting

Fresh Talk Poll #2 with 23 hours left for voting. Again, I say I'm surprised with the voting so far. I would have anticipated that each answer in the poll would have pulled about equal percentages. Would a merger of associations make the dues or financial obligations any less? Not necessarily. Do industry members want to get to a place where they have fewer events to attend, fewer decisions to make as to what convention/expo to support, fewer demands on their time? Perhaps. Do industry leaders want to see less redundancy in association programing? Probably. I would like some of Fresh Talk readers to give arguments that support their votes.
