I think we could re-offer regular membership (the reason I invited Laura to do so), but the only real benefit might be the advertising discount (or maybe a free one once per year).
As a member, some possible benefits:
Ability to submit News & Events (although most members don't)
Invite to submit articles to Dispatches
Publish free ads, or possibly discounted ads
Possibly be a presenter at one of our Writers Education Webinars
Have a free "booth" at our conferences
As you have already done, give them a space on our Member Resources page
I like this idea: If the membership were granted to a publishing house, we could fairly easily extend the membership rate for conferences to anyone working there (rather then the first person to whom we granted membership).
