Without diversity you eventually would have extinction. Diversity is what has replaced the modelers tha are gone for one reason or the other. I do not believe that the AMA provides the sense of community or the encouragement to pursue different branches of the same modeling tree. This comes from the local level, not the national level. yes, it is nice to be able to have a national organization that links people from around the country and attempts to have a structure of representation, but in this modern day, I believe the internet links us better and faster. Is modeling to diverse? No. Diversity is a good thing here. Can the AMA handle it or can they be expected to handle it? Absolutely not.
