what you are proposing has been tried and failed several times by several differant people. Jeff B was even ivolved in one of those efforts that didnt go very far. I wish ya the best of luck and dont mean to rain on your parade but its a wasted effort. Your not going to get the fundage your thinking and hoping for and setting it up where you rely on funds it will fail when they dont come through. and if they do come through its money that would be better spent with PIJAC or the local herp societies. another thing I can tell ya is if you think you have a chance you need someone from one of the big societies to step foward and run it with them. So you have a known name involved in the finaces/decisions. No one is going to send someone they have never heard of donations. And the few people who may be willing to send a stranger donations are not gong to amount to much in the long run, if you got a better idea how to set someting up and make it work the right way I am all for it, I had the same idea as you last year and spoke to Jeff B and Marshal Myers from PIJAC and both pretty much agreed it would go no where for reasons stated above. However I wont support anything that will pull funding away from PIJAC nor the established societys. Your best bet is to try and find a liason for each state and work to speed up information.
