We Have a little time to get organized. Do we have a Leader Member who would like to be AMA Prez or a District VP?
25000 RCUniverse Member and I would estimate that probably 1/2 are AMA members. Put together a write in campaign for the next election. With the cross over to (forgive me) and help from the other rc web sites we could get a couple of people elected an away we go!
Lets start with the next district elections. Then we use what we organized to work on the next Presidential Election.
They say that the Web is a powerful tool.
First you had best tell 'em what is expected of a VP by the membership.
Then IF>>> IF you can then find someone to step up to run, you probably will NOT have to run a write-in campaign.
Let's see.... what is it that we expect? hmmm...
Go to Muncie 4 times a year for EC meetings
Be prepared for each and every agenda item presented.
Never, never, never make a mistake when voting on a motion
Attend every model show within 1500 miles of home
Attend two organized events each weekend so you can take pictures of your District members to put in your MA column
Take a day or two each month to write that MA column
Attend a club meeting each and every night of the week
Answer each and every e-mail you get from any member of your District the same day it is received
Take every call from members of your District and return those that you miss, every day
Stay in touch with the rest of the EC constantly and be available to HQ at all hours of the night and day to answer questions
Serve on, or Chair, two or three standing committees and stay in touch with your committee members constantly
Prepare reports from the committee to the EC
Participate as a member of the Nominating Committee in Muncie once a year
Appoint AVP's, Frequency Coordinators etc, as necessary
Review and Approve/Disapprove CD applications
Review and Approve/Disapprove LM applications
Resolve conflicts in the District as they arise
Be prepared to make presentations to City Council or County Supervisors as needed to try to save fields on a moments notice
And... for this you are paid the princely amount of.... What? Whatdaya mean we dont pay em? Oh... well... OK, we don't pay you nothin, but you get $8800 per year for T&E. How about that, pretty neat, huh?
And, when you don't have anything else to do, build, fly and have fun. Oh yeah... if your married... kiss the wife on the way out the door.
(Just a quick, partial list of what we expect)
Now.... How many of you LM's are interested?.... Step right up.... No line.... no waiting.... Step right up
