2. AMA tries to use available media but the actual work must be done by the various clubs and generally, they just don't do a good job of it. So it's up to the clubs to do it. Motivate the clubs and you will have it. Just try and get members off their butts to volunteer time! Sure.

The AMA tries other media to promote the sport/hobby? I have yet to come across ANY other published media promoting the AMA.
One of the reasons that we have an AMA HQ is for them to do promotion. Yes, they do promotion, of themselves.[>:]
The clubs NEED leadership and advice from upstream. This is, unfortunately, lacking. The whole idea of a national body is 2-way assistance & guidance. Treating us like mushrooms is GOOD for the "leadership" as their cosy club will not be disturbed.
Even though the AMA is a 'not for profit' business it must still be run in a fiscally responsible way. That is not happening.
Safe Flying!
