"With your extensive background, why did you decide to work for the asacp? Did they pay more than your last job?"
More money than my last job you must be kidding! It was less money and a lot more work. But it was a caused-base association which was one of my requirements. Even though I have to support myself, at this point in my life - money is not everything. I don't want to sound like too much of a bleeding heart here. Money is important!
If I am going to work as much as I normally do, I have to believe in the cause and know that I am making a difference in the world - this contributes to my personal satisfaction with life. Plus, I didn't need to wear a SUIT to work. Many of the association jobs are in DC where you need to wearsuits and I had no desire to leave LA.
The job prior to ASACP was as VP-Membership for the Virtual International Community (VIC) - an association for professionals in new media (now this is digital entertainment). As many of you know, the height of the dot.com days were lucrative for many companies including th supporting associations.
