[comp.lang.c] Anybody have any experience with WICCA and ICCA?

Hi,
	I was wondering if anyone out in netland has direct experience
with Washington Independant Computer Consultants Association (WICCA), or
the national chapter ICCA?

	They offer a referral database that is supposed to allow companies
to get in touch with ICCA's member consultants for the purpose of getting
contracts, etc.

	This service costs consultants somewhere around $500 per year.  What
I was wondering is:

	1) Is anybody using this service? (either consultants or clients)
	2) Does it WORK?
	3) Roughly how many referrals can one expect in the course of a
	   year?

	If one could reasonably expect enough referrals from the service to
result in even one job per year, it would be a bargain.  If no referrals
came during the course of the year... well you know...

	I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has direct experience
with WICCA, or for that matter any other association with similar goals.

	Thanks.
