Is a new association, dedicated exclusively to SUE practice, needed?

Should the new association be state, regional, national or international?

Should the new association be comprised of individual members or member companies?

Should the new association membership be private sector/ private practice only, or are there government agencies or employees who are potential members? How about universities?
