True in one way...
but should the IFA not be more pro active in trying to get people to join.. ( I know it is trying now... hence the Diggers Group)
but surely if the IFA is a professional organisation.. (define professional organisation?) (though a Chartered Organisation would be better) that purports to represent Archaeology.. it should be out there preaching rather than muttering and carping about... 'if you don't join us we won't change'
back to the circular arguement.... if the IFA realise that it needs to change... perhaps
a) it should actually change.
b) it should actively seek members and give proper benefits for the privilage.
c) I have often offered my cooperation and services for free to teh IFA to help in recruitment, arbitration, dissemination of news and progress... after all. BAJR gets to lots of people every day...
still waiting... so as I say.... 2 way street. IFA want to be taken seriously by everyone...great....I seriously hope to see that rather than the helpless sounding "we can't change until you join"...
Another day another WSI?
