Comment

I saw the same thing happening in the 1990s. I belonged to the UK Telecommunication Managers Association. They could not see the end coming until they imploded. But NO institution can see the end. Of, if some folks do see it, then they will not be able to convince the rest of the committee!!!

Does it matter? A little bit but new organisations will emerge and the MoMoLo is one of them.

I currently belong to two social society groups (one a registered charity) and neither of them can see the end of their worlds approaching. They both think that, by doing more of what they did before - they will pull it back and membership will increase.

If they reinvented themselves, then it might happen but they show no signs of doing that.

'Twas ever thus.
