My question is what could AMA do to change things for the better?
The RC industry continues to struggle, ( I know, because I own a hobby shop and have many industry contacts) flying fields continue to go the way of housing and business developments and golf courses and for the most part, beginners still have a difficult time finding someone to spend much, if any time with them. In particular, what powers does those at AMA headquarters have to solve these monumental problems?

IMHO, logically, there is little to nothing that they can do.
