I am a member and have never regretted it. I go to the annual conference to get my CPE's and can get 30 credits for 4 days. The publications and newletters are good. Very professional organization. The conference classes are classified basic, intermediate or advanced. Also the conference includes an ethics class or two. It is spendy to go cross country and stay at the conference site but I can concentrate on the classes and get it all done.
