Whichever gas station I use makes no difference to me. I am not posting here saying we should search out other venues to serve our fossil fuel needs because the present one isn't selling my brand.
My point was that the AMA, like a club are the people who make up the organization. To say it is the AMA's responsibility to promote modeling is a convienent way of saying, "It's not my job." The AMA stands for Association of Modeling Aeronautics. An association, by definition is a group of like minded individuals.
I suggest rather than say it's not my job, we personalize the modeling growth and take responsiblity for bringing one new person each to the joys of modeling. If each member of said association did that, then the membership would double, would it not?
Were you introduced to modeling by the AMA or a friend?

Apparently, I have entered the wrong forum.
Can someone help me out?
I am looking for the AMA that stands for the Academy of Model Aeronautics. The Academy that has a set of by-laws that sets forth it's purpose, in part, as "Subject to the limitations set forth in the Academy of Model Aeronautics, Inc., Articles of Incorporation, the primary object of the AMA is to promote and foster educational and scientific advancement in model aeronautics, to give recognition to model leadership and to provide guidance and direction of national model aeronautic affairs by those individuals who, through their accomplishments in the model field, have demonstrated their qualifications for such responsibility.
The Academy that has as a mission statement the following: "AMA Mission
The Academy of Model Aeronautics
is a world-class
association of modelers organized for the purpose of promotion, development, education and advancement of modeling activities. The Academy provides leadership, organization, competition, communication, protection, representation, recognition, education and scientific/technical development to modelers."
Thanks
