Is joining the AOS from Europe worth it?

[Nesuchambers]

Hi guys! As the title implies, I live in Europe and I am pondering whether I should join the AOS and what benefits do I still get, and also maybe get information from somebody in my same situation.

The thing is in Europe there's not really something as big as the AOS, as far as I know. And since most of the orchid hobby and nurseries are around the Netherlands and Germany most information is in languages I don't understand.

Thanks for your answers in advance!
