a lot of this has to do with attitude, i talk with a couple a friends that are AMA, right after talking with them i'm ready to join.......
then i come to the forum's and read all the attitude and figure no way.
weather it be change or you don't want a nub in your ranks, weather you think your protecting your brand in some cases your doing more harm then
good .
telling someone that they've done the club a favor by not joining, or by throwing out insults , it does not help your club or the AMA .

if you own a business how would you attract new customers........................ it's the same approach you should be using for your club and the AMA .
otherwise your killing your business it's just like suicide ................
