I suggest paying very close attention to the exact language out of HQ to describe membership trend. You will hear "numbers" from HQ, when we all understand that what really matters is membership REVENUE. And that trend is clear, and if anything accelerating. Yet we hear "spin" and obfuscation of information from the Budreau / Hanson cabal. When "spin" crosses the line, that's when organizations and individuals (like CFOs) expose themselves to big problems. Remember Enron?
