Is anyone a member? Is it worth the price? Has anyone attended a convention?

I have been a member for over 25 years, but have never made it to the convention (an assistant can't get the days out of school). As a young coach, I was taught that if one wants to be viewed as a professional, he should belong to professional organizations. I encourage every young coach I encounter to become a member. The manuals are not as good as they were back in the late 70's and early 80's. They're okay.

I joined a couple years ago but have since let my membership expire. I joined because I attended the convention and the membership fee and convention fee were one in the same. I paid my convention fee and it came with a free year's membership. There are some decent benefits such as getting the manuals with clinic notes and being able to access speakers through the AFCA website, etc but there is a lot of other stuff I would rather spend $70 on.

I have been a member my entire career. I was told if I ever went to the convention that I'd be hooked. I haven't missed one in years. When I take a job, I let it be known up front that I will be taking those days off to go to the clinic and I haven't had any trouble from school administration. It's a great way to get stoked for winter workouts in January and getting back in the groove after taking the holidays off.

This was the first year I have had to think about renewing. Haven't been able to get to the convention so I'm not sure what I'm really getting out of being a member. I did well on my tax return, so I went ahead and renewed even though the convention was over by the time I did. I mainly want to stay in it in case I ever can get to the convention!
