All,
I'm thinking about attending convention in three weeks. My reasons are several but most important is that I want to become more involved in USMS and I figure the best way to find out how/what/when/where is to attend convention.
Does this make sense? Would it be worthwhile?

Ande - as a frequent user of the forums, contributor, and self-proclaimed "hero" to the sport - don't you want to be a little more supportive of the organization? isn't it possible for you to rise above the "riff-raff"?
I think Ande's advice has been helpful to many, there are many ways to contribute.
As far as USMS politics...well, last year was only my first convention but from what I could tell, they were rank amateurs compared to the maneuverings and general bitchiness that occur at university faculty meetings.
Last year's convention, by way of contrast, was surprisingly efficient for the most part.
