Charll,

That's a valid point. I belong to the Siam Society whose older members are sadly dying off, and not being replaced by new young members. A question I often ask at the AGMs is: What is the elected council doing to attract younger members? Sadly, the answer is 'very little.' They serve up the same programs, lecture series and study trips each year. No real interest or effort to re-image the society for the younger generation, or accommodate members with young families.

Without new blood the society is simply aging....and fading.

Could it be that the ICSBS is heading the same way?
