I don't see how the time factors into this. The people who put in the 
time don't get the money.

The time I put into iris society activities is to improve the quality of 
the organizations and their products. For me and many others there is no 
direct financial impact to AIS for the (often very large) amounts of 
time spent. But the Society is made more worthwhile to members, and 
therefore more viable.

The AIS has many activities. Some are targeted as money-makers. Others 
are deliberately subsidized, while a third group is intended to be 
revenue-neutral. We seldom mention this explicitly, but one of the 
board's most important tasks is acting as a sorting hat to assign 
activities to one of the three bins in a way that maximizes the overall 
value of AIS.
