RE: The new EVP
Bob,
I should have chosen my words more carefully.
Obviously, the vast majority of AMA members, 90%+, as evidenced by the percentage of AMA members who don't vote, could care less about the AMA and it's officers or programs, and therefore, my statement is in error.
However, I do remember getting an e-mail about the proposed PF program, because I wrote a two page reply expressing my opposition based on tiered dues and the AMA using its limited resources going after the Wal-Mart crowd instead of supporting the members of the AMA in the challenges that lay ahead, namely the FEDS, fields, etc.
I remember reading that the majority of responses received by the AMA were against the program; I guess I could look up where I read it but at this point it doesn't matter, now that Smith, et al, has put the program in place.
Anyway, sorry for the unfortunate choice of words, I guess I need to proof read a little better.
BRG,
Jon
