So you guy dont think that Ama is in trouble at all, that membership is growing and the future is bright. Lets face it membership is pretty much stagnant, the avg. age is going up, what happens when nature takes its course and our older members are no longer with us? do you really think there will suddenly be new members just magically appear to take their place? Maybe my choice of word desperatly wasnt the best, but without a very very aggresive national campaign the AMA will be in trouble in the future. I would like to see AMA start up a national media campaign, TV, Radio, etc. and really promote the hobby. Possibly starting the moving of the nats. to diff. locations each year along with the media campaign would help to generate intrest.
So there you are, desperate? maybe not by you perception, maybe so to others.
