Ah, this reminds me of the RPGA.   Is anyone familiar with how that works?
IIRC, you pay $20 to join, it's run by TSR (or WotC now I guess), but the
RPGA members "work" conventions and the like.  I think it is setup as two
seperate sorts of things, and you don't have to be a member to participate
in (many) RPGA functions at conventions and the like (specially ones
demo'ing new stuff), but I don't recall if the RPGA is a NFP.  If so, it
sounds close to what you're describing.
