Speed, it is a newsletter, normally accessed by a link on the NAMBA homepage. We do get a hard copy once a year that is mailed out with rules updates before club activities really get started. The important part is that it's basically free, other than the one hard copy, to both the members and the organization. The secretary takes the information sent in, arranges it and puts it on the website. It's one of his duties, along with handling membership, event sanctioning, insurance issues and such. Granted, NAMBA doesn't have near the membership of the AMA but, when you look at the fact that one person does all of that and then some, it kind of shows how poorly the AMA office staff is actually doing.

Mike, you know that will never happen. To have an outside organization come in and "audit" the AMA's office staff and processes would show just how much of a waste of time, money and space they actually have, not to mention the fact that it might even expose a bit of corruption as well. Personally, I think it would be a good idea but, as we all know, a certain person(or two) would never allow it since it might cost them their job(s)
