I'm sure it will be very challenging, and at times frustrating, but I also hope you find it very satisfying. I think it's a great idea to ask members who've left to get back to you on why they left. RWA is a fabulous organisation and support is a two way street. We need to support the committee and the committee needs to support our needs, communication is key!
