Easy; I just open a command window on the "root" folder and type (for
this example)

#prompt> for S in `seq -w 1 99`;do mv "Members/${S}/Images/*" "Members/
${S}/";done

Then rename "Members" to whatever, drag it where I want it, whatever.

More often than not, however, I would just rename them to something like
ModelNameSetXXX-whateverthefilenamewas and stick them all in one folder.

If you don't use linux, I dunno... maybe just go buy (or "borrow") some
goofy GUI driven batch renaming tool (that's what I did when I used
windows, like, back when Clinton was still prez). They were ok then,
surely by now they've improved considerably.
