David: I believe that would be the first thought on my list of improvements. My second thought is: Can the operation at Muncie be run more effeciently with less manpower for less monies? Third: What more involvement could AMA have in each state to keep flying sites from being lost, and new ones opened? Yes, I am aware that a lot of cities have more than enough flying sites, but that does not help those that do not. Forth: It has been mentioned that the Model Aviation publication is not self supporting. Some thought needs to be done to at least not having its production running into the red. Fifth: How would the membership like to see the EC meetings moved around the states so those members could attend, and personally discuss situations in their area. This meeting schedule also applies to the District VP's. I read in the MA issues that a lot of VP's do travel within there district, but that does not seem to be the case in Oregon and Washington.

I know that I am going to get hammered on my suggestions as there is a financial cost involved in moving people around the country, but if promoting the AMA to the public is important the leaders and members have to get themselves seen, and not sit at the Muncie location. There are so many types of model aircraft to choose from that the public can choose that area which brings them the most fun. Kids like the Delta Darts, while others are immersed in jet aircraft. It is my belief that our hobby has more to offer in learning than a bunch of video games.
