Abstract

Lately, I have been wondering about the apparent decrease in interest in the International System Safety Society (ISSS), judging by the sharp decrease in membership and conference attendance during the past decade or so. Fairly obviously, the government’s sequester policy had a lot to do with the decrease, starting around 2008. However, while the overall economy has slowly recovered and government budgets are largely restored, our membership has remained flat or has slowly declined from year to year.
