Al, I have been in the past. Β I am joining again. Β The insurance is a great deal, and will save me several hundred dollars (even after paying for membership).
No and I hadn't considered it before Matonich's comments at the annual meeting. That was the first time I considered it a possibility. Besides the lightsquared issue, what are some other reasons to join? I think some of the consideration has to be your long term goals and where you want to take your career outside of the workplace.
