As far as VPs and office members spending our money on out of town trips, I don't know if that is so or not, but it is pure speculation, and I'm a little dissapointed in you for saying that.
I don't know how much money AMA will get from losing the free ride for CDs, and I don't know of any CDs who are just scamming us for a free ride. Could be, maybe not. Can we just stick to more grounded facts, and try to avoid speculation, for both sides?
I have heard that VPs get a travel allowance but I don't think that any VPs will let us in on that. But I don't think that they should have to pay travel expenses out of their own pocket.
Well there are some 2600 AMA clubs. Now if there are at least one CD for every club, and there are more than likely more than one for each club, that would mean that AMA would save at least
$75,400
annually by having CD's pay half of their membership dues.
Take care,
