Ours is a very formal association. Our association is very selective about admitting new members. There are several layers of management in this association. Members who make their own decisions regarding the association would be quickly discouraged here. It is very easy for someone to be a member of our association.
Most members have similar backgrounds.
Most of the members are involved in other professional activities outside of the association. Members are allowed to do almost as they please. There can be little action taken here until the leadership approves a decision. Our association caters exclusively to members that meet strict guidelines. Our association is only concerned with local issues.
