Why do you think membership has declined, and what, in your role, if elected, do you think you could do, uh, uh, to help combat that?

Very good question.

Um, unfortunately, me as an individual, uh, cannot just turn the tide, um, but we can try to work to try to stem that.

The first thing, um, I'll refer back to what I said before regarding when members feel that their membership is solely a tax and they don't really find much benefit for it, that's when they're on the edge.

They may be a member today and then go off tomorrow.

They don't, they don't really find the value in it.

You know, going back to, it was my career in, in modeling.

Have you given any thought as to if the membership continued to decline, um, what should be done, uh, like financial ed- or financial adaptation, uh, expenses, services, raising dues, anything like that?
