Another sad soul who mistakes the Internet for reality. This forum is mostly entertainment, some knowledge sharing, a little venting and a little brainstorming. It is NOT involvement. Involvement is meeting with the folks who live next to the field, and addressing their concerns. Involvement is meeting with the County Council to get the road to the field paved. Involvement is talking to the beligerent club member who is flying unsafely. Involvement means building people's trust in repeated face-to-face contact over many years.
Instead of insulting people whom you do not know, try to ADD something to this discussion. I have only listed this as one way of being involved. And as for all of your other points they are not the topic of discussion. Election requirements are. New ideas ARE!
I am not looking to blindly open the AMA to a take over. There are still requirements to eligible to run they are just broader. So you imply that Club Officers, Leader and Life Members and Title Holders are outsiders looking to TAKE OVER the AMA. The naysayers and doomsdayers need to take a little time to look at the larger scope of my proposal instead of shooting it down with out making recommendations yourself.
All I have asked in this thread it that people come forth with Ideas. I have not seen any idea from J_R, helioo1 or from you Mike in DC. Do you have any orginal ideas on how to improve the AMA, Anything? Any Part?
