Core IDSA?

“now even though i have an idsa membership; i have little interest in using it nor do i know what i could do with it if i did…”

Maybe this is the problem?? I always hear about how great IDSA is “as long as you put effort in”. But honestly, aside from attending meetings, paying my dues, paying to get into shows, etc., I have no clue how or what else I could do to “put back in”. So I’m left with confusion as to why I just paid money for something I could’ve gotten without a membership. Maybe this is something IDSA should look into educating their members about??
I also like the point of Core77 and IDSA teaming up. Granted it’d be quite the pairing of personalities, but I think both could benefit greatly from each other’s expertise and boost the design community at the same time.
