A great idea with some good leadership.
However the membership schedule seems a little harsh compared to the

AZH, Association of Zoological Horticulture is $100 USD for commercial
memberships. IA Irrigation Association membership is $55 USD. Now I
understand the need to raise funds, but $200 for a small business and
$500
for a corporate membership, is excessive for a newly forming

IMHO.
I completely agree. I was excited about the announcement and what I read=
