They start it, they confuse it and soon everyone is allowed to be whatever the program started with and then said program dies. The Leader Club was at first a nice thing showing that a club that really worked for betterment could set a level for most clubs to work for. Soon the requirements started being reversed, soon any club could become a Leader, any member could wear the small pin, even though it was/is SMALL. Then Clubs received many pins (always wonder just who in the top levels was making and charging AMA for those things
) and now a "LEADER CLUB" is nothing to rave about. AMA sent bags of them to all the clubs that I am familiar with. IMO: simply more worthless extravaganza.
Ah the good 'ol days. That's always a great sentiment to trot out.
But I hear ya on the the whole "the club ain't what it used to be", and "the damn pins were the ruination of a once great fraternal organization" right? Now
anyone can be a leader member. LoL, so wrong.
It seems like this is yet another feature of the AMA that doesn't pass your muster, but then again it doesn't appear that ANY part of the AMA is good or worthwhile or meaningful etc etc. I hate to say it but your comments above appear to indicate you are wildly out of touch with the current Leader Club program, or your basing them on limited experiences (hard to tell what "all the clubs" means), or a combo of the two.
Numerous and various pins? Like how many are numerous and various in your book? Can you point them out? We talkin 2, 5, 15....or more like 2-3?
Who in the top level of the AMA is making the pins...
...really?
