I'm sure clubs, if they want to keep going, will drop the requirement of having an AMA membership since the AMA would be a "lame duck" organization anyway
The most recent financials would provide some incite into that. One area that I noticed that was significantly down was Club Charter Fees from 2015 to 2016. I'm no accountant and maybe someone smarter than me can pull more out of them than I can.
Club charter fees 2016- $234,688 down from $296,838 in 2015
