As for the club issue. It seems inconsistent to be trying so hard to grow memberships, but then know (or should know) that clubs you list on your page aren't responding to inquiries, show locations that are in the middle of a forest, or have out of date info. Is there no process in place to re-verify contact info? Is there no stated expectation to respond to inquiries (again, if you're trying to grow membership), etc.?
How many excuses must we consider before we face the most obvious conclusion : that the club doesn't exist anymore - yet it's listed anyway. Is that not misrepresenting the number of places to fly?
Should information be perfect...sure, a great idea.
Again, the implication being here that the AMA is responsible for the info the club submits. I say it's on the clubs, not the AMA. The same for the clubs not responding to you...how that could ever be the AMA's fault is unknown.
I can't imagine it's easy for one person to spend time reaching out to every club in the country to ensure their info is correct. I'm sure the AMA can get right on that, but again, that will cost money, and we know how that goes.
