I'm not sure how or where (or for that matter whether) there will be debate, though I hope there will be some discussion between members of AoIR and air-l and candidates as that will help with making an informed decision when voting.

What do you consider the benefits of AoIR membership to be, both tangible and intangible, and are there other benefits that you would try to bring to members? Please elaborate as much as you wish in your answers. Thank you."
