Not sure that I can (or should!) comment on your own experiences...
...however I am also not the one to comment on the broader strategy and policy items either, I am not sure exactly what is coming next - apart from the CPD requirement and restructuring of the RO system and new membership application procedures. Plus more training initiatives withthe ATF. For more detail you need to ask someone who was at the AGM and/or is on Council.
All I can say is that I see good work being done, and in the absence of any other professional association I am happy to be part of this one. I do recognise that it is far from perfect, but I am confident that things will improve for the profession as a whole.
Sadly the economic crisis will not help - we are [u]all</u> at risk of losing our jobs, houses etc. - but that is hardly the fault of the IfA!
