Default RE: Small Changes in the AMA

Candidate allocation: each candidate for election to an EC District VP position be allowed to have 5000 spaces for the in-house magazine column. The Pres. and EVP would be allowed 7000 spaces. Each would be allowed one picture, column size.
This would give the voters a better understanding of the candidates. The incumbent has eleven columns each year to dazzle the populace with. The wanna'bee only has a few hundred words.

Change the Nominating Committee's nominee selection to include all applicants that produce 2000 signed signature petition of AMA members for a District VP and 4000 for a National Office. These nominees will be over and above the current limit of Three (3).

Better financial help for the FAI Teams and a He-l of a lot more publicity for them both coming and going.

Initiate a program to promote Model Aviation as a worthwhile SPORT and Recreation for all. Get outside media attention. Increase the opportunities for local clubs to obtain and retain flying facilities.

Keep the web updated. Delete the superficial "Members Only" section. Purely nothing but HYPE. Waste of time and effort.

Staff the Insurance Section with a competent Insurance Person and staff.

Restore the "Instant" membership with FAX applications.

Initiate for quick completion, the addition of an AMA Foundation for all functions of the Tax Exempt entity. Set AMA free to LOBBY for modeler's needs.

SO Much more.
