Well, let's examine the work of those who've "reached the pinnacle of where you should be involved..."
Using IRS990 date and constant year inflation adjusted 2019 dollars, across the years 2016 - 2019:
- Total Assets: DOWN 17%
- Net Assets: DOWN 24%
- Member Dues: DOWN 23%
- Total Revenue: DOWN 18%
- Magazine Revenue: DOWN 41%
- Profit/Loss across the period '16-'19: LOSS 3,172,676
- Salaries: UP 0.49%
Using IRS990 date and constant year inflation adjusted 2019 dollars, across the years 2004 - 2019:
- Total Assets: DOWN 48%
- Net Assets: DOWN 45%
- Member Dues: DOWN 38%
- Total Revenue: DOWN 33%
- Magazine Revenue: DOWN 52%
- Profit/Loss across the period '04-'19: LOSS $4,698,384
- Salaries: UP 9%
One more interesting fact about AMA. Over the period 2004 -2019, Executive Compensation is
UP 147% !!!
I humbly submit that many of those individuals in those seats at "the pinnacle of where you should be involved" ... are really the problem. At least based on the performance above.
