now that seems to say, that of 903 eligible for free membership cards given out, only 285 have actually redeemed them for a membership.
so, does someone have a more current statement from the AMA as to how many more have been redeemed since the council meeting where the above was presented?
just having the opportunity for a free membership does not actually make one a member before doing the required paperwork and such.
That sounds like the right set of numbers, the last ones I recall were right from the EC meeting notes, in Jan or Feb? So about a third redeemed. That could be why the folks at the AMA felt it wasn't as successful as they had hoped for. Looking forward to seeing what they might be up to at this point.
