I am trying to figure out the normal lurker to active member ratio in a growing community. In our community, about 98% of the users are lurkers; and I’m wondering if that’s normal. Of course, I’d like to have more active users and turn them into actively engaged members.

Emma - typically any growing community will have about 90% luckers. Of course, this ratio is for open communities and the number may vary for highly focused communities.
The ratio varies as the community grows and if you have a big community, 98% luckers is nothing to worry about. In fact, it's a good problem to solve - because it's easy to turn them into members. I'll write a short guide on the techniques we use that works always.

Okay, I'm glad that our community ain't doing bad on the lurker ratio. I'll look forward to your article on how to convert lurkers into engaged members.
