RE: AMA Leader Members or
Hmmmm, my experience is considerably different than several here. I was asked by an ex-AMA President to submit my LM application, which he said he would sign. Even after 10 years of close association, and even though he was intimately familiar with my qualifications, he made me explain my qualifications and desires before he would sign my application.
I've been closely associated with lots of AMA LM's during my time as a Dist X AVP and on my Committee work for AMA, I've found very few LM's who did not deserve to be LM's or who did not take the added responsibility seriously. Some of the above posts make it sound like bad, or GOB appointed, LM's are hiding behind every rock, I guess I must run in the wrong circles!
