   None of this is to say that dues paying members shouldn't hold folks to high standards, but it is to note that many of us who do this volunteer service work have effectively taken on an entire additional unpaid job in which we're doing anywhere from an additional 5-20 hours of unpaid work a week because we believe so strongly in giving back to the networks and associations that helped us in our career.

     pour one out for everyone doing volunteer service in your professional associations right now. This shit has always been hard, it's getting harder literally by the hour, and it's thankless work. At best you get to see the seeds you plant bloom years later, at worst people treat you like a punching bag for everything they don't like about the org.
