Or even regional organization instead of state level (as I fear in some states membership may be too small to properly organize). This way resources could be pooled as well. Just as a for instance, due to population differences a state level of USARK in Ohio and Pennsylvania would have much more members (and therefore money) than say a West Virginia chapter of USARK. But if these three states and say MD, DE, NJ, VA and KY were pooled together in a Mid-Atlantic chapter, more resources would be available to the smaller states. Or even both types of organization, all feeding resources to the national level. I feel that some sort of sub-division would really help USARK long-term, not only in ability to fight local and state anti-herp legislation, but to bring in herp-friendly legislation as well as promote USARKs' mission of education. Perhaps something to think about after S373 is defeated (I'm confident lol)?
