I think this is inaccurate. Yes, the association is a membership-based
association, but the group is explicitly interested in making membership
accessible AND offering access, services, and opportunities to non-members.
I changed this to:

Becoming a member is easy and the goal is to keep due rates low. Plus the
public is welcome anyway!

This is a bit inaccurate, changed to:

Sudo room is meant to make good business decisions--like suitable corporate
and tax structures, if and when necessary.
