Ok, here is her on her first response. I'll share it with the group here. Note how she unloads the job on the people at Muncie.

Hi Eric:

Model Aviation Magazine, June Issue, Page 159. Middle of page Recognizing Individuals: Leader member: A program designed to recognize leaders in the modeling community. Three classifications exist: Administrative, Industry, and scientific. Members recognized in this program help to administer Academy activities as well as maintain and vote on the AMA bylaws. Information and applications are available from the Membership Department at AMA Headquarters. Eric please contact AMA and ask for the Membership Department and they will send you all the necessary paper work you will need and answer all your questions.

Also Eric, that one page in the magazine is very helpful. I got a lot of information from it regarding awards your club can work towards getting. Please check it out.

The best of luck to you, I think it is so great that you are going to schools and talking to the students. We just went to one yesterday for
4 hours. We had a wonderful time, the children all made airplanes out of wood and painted them. They brought to the show we put on yesterday. When we were done, they wanted to know if we could all come back the next day. It is so rewarding to work with the children. If I can help you in any way please do not hesitate to email me.

Best of luck to you and Mahlep RC Aviation.

Eric,

You can download the Leader Member application form from the AMA web site: http://www.modelaircraft.org/templat...-Files/907.pdf It is in pdf format. If you can't read an adobe file you can also down load it from the AMA web site. http://www.modelaircraft.org/templates/ama/acrobat.asp

The people at Muncie are very busy this time of the year so we should make every effort to use the tools they make available on the web site. As a Leader Member you should familiarize yourself with the web site and all it offers. It is a great way to answer question other modelers may have or form prospective members. You will find the AMA Membership Manual there also. Great source from which to clip specific items or to direct people to that have not taken the time to read theirs or have misplaced it.

If you need help on any of this, as I said, don't be afraid to ask.

Hi Eric,

You don't need Leader Members, all you need is the referances from Open Members and then the endorsement of the District VP or any of the AVPs.

"These three (3) references must be properly filled in and signed by three
(3) current AMA Leader Members. (If Leader Members are unavailable, three
(3) Open Members and an endorsement by a District Vice President or Associate Vice President may be substituted.)" At the moment it appears that Judi Dunlap is acting as our District VP, you could contact her at (352) 347-5852 e-mail [email protected] to get her mailing address and to see if she would help you. Otherwise the closest AVP is Sherwin Arculis, Huntsville AL ((256) 883-9838 e-mail [email protected].

If this doesn't work get back with me and I'll see what we can put together for you. Lord knows we need more active members to become Leader Members to get our district rolling toward its full potential.

Red,

You may not remember me, but we have exchanged emails a few times discussing District V. I need some help in how to go about applying to be a Leader Member. I have looked at the application and feel that I may be qualified for the administrative category. I am the founder and president of a small club. I am active in my club and have conducted demonstrations and talks at local schools. I am also our club instructor and an intro pilot. None of our members are Leader Members, so how do I go about getting references? Is there a list that I would have access to that shows Leader Members in my area?
