RE: Limiting MAAC directorships?
It is not apathy.
I have not meet anyone that was just dying to be member of maac. MAAC is an organization that just does not connect with the majority of maac.
Why - almost every one is told - you must be a maac member to fly here.
$75.00 is not a lot of money to some (only a cup of coffee, blah , blah) but that amount can be 2x or 3x the dues one pays to a club
so when a member fins out they are paying $75 for $10 insurance, well, the disconnect happens.
Then we get the preachin from maac how maac does so much for us, the mag, the structure, the committees, etc, well let me tell you, no one is really buying this, guess why?
At the club level for usually a smaller fee, they get,
a) a flying site that is maintained.
b) training
c) web site and / or a newsletter
so in those terms is $75 for $10 maac insurance a good deal - I guess when there is only one source.
MAAC has connect with the majority - guys who go out and bore holes in the sky, just for fun. MAAC is stale, boring, dull, talking about a vision, yoouts (youths), no one is buying that, you can preach until the cows come home, no one is buying that.
