[quote user="JOHN BRUCE III"] I'm still puzzled at how the NMRA has enforced, or will enforce this, reasonable or not. There was an issue several years ago in which NMRA divisional and regional officers were not paying their NMRA dues, and the organization apparently had a big puzzle in figuring out how to enforce that very reasonable policy.  At the time, they asked local members to turn their officers in if they had knowledge that they hadn't paid their dues. So how can anyone in the NMRA know who's paid up at an event or not, if they don't know who among the guys at the head table is paid up? Debates over the usefulness of the org aside, what assurance does anyone have that their act is together enough to say who's a member when they walk in the door?  A lot would presumably have to change before they could say. [/quote] Each member receives a card in the mail with their membership number and expiration date of membership.  Members could be required to produce said card or a local database could be created to list the active membership.  It is an interesting problem.
