It's been my experience that Pro didn't really net me much by way of access, since I hadn't gone to a national conference, or (admittedly) made use of the Pro loops on our RWA Online chapter. I wouldn't dream of putting it on a query...might as well print FRESHMAN on my forehead and get it over with.
Now it remains to be seen whether being a member of PAN (RWA's Published Author Network) will do me much more good. Triskelion has just received RWA approval as a publisher (recent blog entry on Starfish and Coffee). I'm not going to National this year, either, so unless the PAN boards have something terribly profound to offer me by way of writerly education, I think the best thing to do is just...write the next damned book.

Out of the Pro and into the PAN
