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?

I can get hotel, rental car, insurance , airfare, etc deals from two alumni groups and two large companies that will beat anything USMS can put together.
Great, you are blessed! How about those (most?) of us who don't have similar benefits? What is preventing USMS from offering a similar suite of discounts/benefits to what other associations provide?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have to choose between multiple discounts who are fighting for your business? With 45,000 wealthy, educated members, I reckon USMS could round up a few dozen top-notch, national companies that would be willing to give our members discounts.
...but maybe I am wrong.
