If you want to hob-nob with the Conference Board of Canada on the social
determinates of health you must buy a membership at a few thousand.

 Well as a grad student, that is out for me. I did lodge a formal compliant
to the very nice person who notified me of the fee. The gist was that there
should places for people like me without the disposable income. 

There is a list of government and lobby groups already signed up and
available on the website.

Well in my very jaded opinion, as someone in poverty and having been a
doctoral student, conferencing is big business, isn't it? Moreover, a good
deal of its purpose appears to be less about social, rather than personal
advancement, on adding another line to one's CV.

I'd love to see more of affected populations included in conferences,
seminars, or whatever. But hob-nobbing with one's elite peers will be a
tough habit for many in power to break.
