Can you prove that statement 100%. If that's true, why is the AMA board so concerned about the bylaws changing. I know someone that's a Leader Member that's been wanting to make this change for the past 10 years. Several of the board's has been wanting to kick him out of AMA, but can't find a reason to do it. He hasn't done anything wrong. There are District VP's that have resigned before there term was up, as they didn't want to be involved with anything that was illegal. Members of the AMA have the right to know how there dues are used. Not until AMA got assets, was this ever an issue. Whats the value of AMA today. It's a lot more that just office furniture. Why do they have the concern of the bylaws change? Love to hear an answer to that.
Because of the internet, the leader members could have a vote on one day, very easily. That idea was suggested once before to an AMA president, that ignored it. I was the one that suggested it.
