The prevailing sentiment seems to bypass IMAA and just list the event on the AMA calendar.

IMAA should be recognized for all that it did to coalesce the people and knowledge that made the early giant scale planes possible.
However this society does not spend much time honoring it's elders. It is always "what have you done for me lately"?
We are a progress or fall behind type of people. IMAA has failed to progress.
