I would love to see a “What to do about RFI” type slide deck that can be passed around to clubs and presented. It would cover identifying and characterizing RFI, direction finding, and how to loop ARRL in the case it’s solar or some other thing ARRL has influence on.

Would other folks think their clubs might be interested?
