I wonder if C4L could just decide to pay for ALA/LITA memberships for the conference organizers? That way it wouldn't be a burden on them. I don't know how much extra that would add to the cost of the conference but I wouldn't think it would be much, relative to the other costs. 

I don't really have a favorite between ALA / CLIR / OLF / whoever else might be in the mix. Just thought that this might be a way to keep the burdens off of the people and on the broader community, which is gaining the most benefit from the arrangement.

    I concur with Tim's assessment. If folks have limited funds for professional development, they are less likely to become a member of an association that requires them to join another organization as a prerequisite to membership.

    I would strongly oppose any requirement that forces membership to ALA / LITA.  This is unnecessary and an expense that is a personal choice and often not reimbursed by libraries. I also think it would servely limit who is willing to host / lead conferences.
