1/2 dues for CD's
A couple of years ago, the Executive Committee debated the question of free dues for Contest Directors in the light of reducing AMA expenses. The possibilities were to continue the program, or to terminate the program. The EC decided on a compromise, 1/2 dues for CD's. My feelings about thus decision are perhaps not rational. I would have been happy with either leaving the program in place or terminating it. But I feel insulted by the decision to give half dues off for directing a contest. I would like to know how much money this decision has saved the AMA and how much extra paperwork it has created for headquarters. I'd also like to see the matter reconsidered now that it has had a trial.
