GATCO has reinvigorated the regional structure over the last few years, a process that is ongoing. The Guild sends lots of people to work on IFATCA's behalf (and therefore on UK's behalf too), quite often funded by IFATCA. Any member wishing to volunteer some time to help out with either regional or IFATCA work (or any other work!) would be met with open arms! I personally view membership as very worthwhile, as a way of having input into the future of my chosen profession, as a way of keeping in touch/up to date with developments nationally and worldwide, and as an insurance policy in the event of a court-inducing incident (£250,000 worth of insurance!)
