It is a big deal. The corporation (AMA) should be able to separate and show in the financials where their money is coming from. If I was running the corporation I would want to know that break down in order to act quickly if their happens to be an up or down tick in revenue. The corporation has several different revenue streams. It would be unwise to not be able to distinguish where the money is coming from. I'm sure on the back side the accountant is keeping track of it. We the members should be worried about this too. Especially those that are BODs at a local club.

Like I stated earlier, either Best Buy or Yuneec has to be paying for membership. It doesn't make much sense for the AMA to just hand out free memberships. Unless on the tax side the AMA can recoup funds as a promotional item.
