Overall to answer the question, yes, you definitely need to be a player in AZA. As to the amount you wanna be a player, that’s a personal decision as to what you want to do. I probably started getting involved with AZA after I went to St. Louis. I was appointed to a couple of committees. I was appointed to the Wildlife Management Committee and I think there was one other one and started becoming more involved in national affairs with the association. And in time, just the more involved I get, the more committees I would serve on. And certainly I was involved in bird groups, their activities and it just builds over time. I suppose you get involved and you become knowledgeable and you have experience with some of the association’s activities, and you become more of a player in the association politics if you wanna call it that.
