RE: Communications of interest
Here is another:
**********
Hello,
all,
from:
[email protected]
At the OCT AMA EC meeting the following was enacted:
NEW BUSINESS
Create program to assist in getting flying sites for Indoor & Park Flyers
The Academy has produced numerous pamphlet & programs encouraging individuals flyers to contact us.
Dr. Frank feels that AMA needs to develop a program to offer the indoor and park flyer so that they have a reason to join the AMA and is recommending an ad hoc committee be established.
The committee should include those who are currently flying indoor electric and Park Models. Once the committee is in place and organized, they will get in contact with the Education Committee members involved with Parks and Recreation.
The President appointed an Ad hoc committee on Attaining Indoor/Park Flier Flying Sites; the committee is S. Frank, Chairman; Tom Krogle and others....
Relative to implementation of the above project we are now seeking information from modelers throughout the country.
We are in process of doing a needs assessment -- currently the scope and dimension of assistance needed by Indoor modelers and park fliers is being solicited?
Pertaining to your endeavors to seek out and establish both park flying and indoor flying sites we are asking "what problems" you have confronted and the "what assistance you deem necessary".
It is very important that we confront your desires and needs and a do not create a program which fulfills the wrong dimensions and problems therefore >>> your input is solicited!
Please share and a distribute this request far and wide
it is only by seeking your input that we can accurately confront those problems which you might have !!
Best regards.

My Feedback: (3)
RE: Communications of interest
I sure am glad to see Sandy going back to what he used to be. These are important enough issues to have the input request spread far wide, as he is attempting to do. Someone on the D8 list missed the first of the three, so I sent it back there to help and make sure Sandy's good efforts are known to all. Thank you Sandy.
I am astounded with the long term positive impact Doug Holland's efforts are already having in the form of Koranda's approach to our organization. How effective and far sighted! The AMA has had a very serious problem and we all have beat up each other, the EC, and the industry trying to identify, quantify, and solve the problem. As was said elsewhere, the problem is us (the AMA).
No, the problem probably is NOT any individual or group but a corporate culture thing. The AMA clearly needs to change. Koranda recognizes that and has helped point it out to our EC in a manner that makes sense and shows many choices and areas that should be changed. Some of the things needed to help the AMA change is improved communications, which I expect to start happening soon.
Koranda has been with an aviation organization in a shrinking market with its membership was growing. Isn't THAT interesting? We have a growing market. I wonder what can be done about that. I am excited and thank my DVP for making so much of this public, where it NEEDS to be.
