I thought we'd get a difference when Catherine Asaro was elected. She seemed to understand that SFWA could be a more effective advocate for professional writers, and had a plan for moving it in that direction: but, from what I could see on the outside, she was tainted by association with romance writers and never got her plans off the ground.
I felt the association with romance writers was a plus, personally. They have a more pragmatic approach to things, overall. It isn't 100% perfect, but there were things we could've learned. Things they could've learned from us.
There was also the usual Other Stuff Going On, which always goes on.
