I agree about not wanting more rules for the club or for the instructors. I think that each club based on size could be allotted a certain amount of 'instructors' that are basically certified thru the club. Of course the club could decline to have instructors if they don't want the club to grow.... I would hope that the ama would recognize the club requirements for the instructor but..... and I totally agree. I was asked to become a CD. I've thought about it on and off for a couple of years but with the way the ama has treated the cd's I have little desire to go thru the hoops + then send them another $20 for the app fee so that I can be a half paid employee, <JK>.......
