I know a few MEP's and they are, with very few exceptions, extremely dysfunctional, very top heavy, some fat cats at the top enjoying serious perks and the working folks never appreciated. I don't know how much money NIST is giving to the MEP's these days, but as a tax payer, I wished the money was better spent. Needless to say, most consulting organizations that I know hate the MEP competition due to the subsidies they enjoy.
