Hi Tom … I agree with you, but also felt that the Landscape Institute fees were a touch out of balance. RE no Spanish Institute there ‘is’, I was a member from 2003 – 2011 http://www.aepaisajistas.org/ … I’ve just stumbled across this post as (since moving here and becoming a legal citizen) I’m now trying to join the Brasilian Institute for LA http://www.abap.org.br/index.htm
We can only ‘do’ what we can – but fight we still are 😉
I hope I find you in a better place 5 years after this post – drop me a line sometime.
Jamie
