Default RE: Membership drive question

ORIGINAL: kriegsmacht

Currently I am not an AMA member. The award of lifetime membership given in the current membership drive is very appealing to me. I have a few questions...

In the member to member category... What kind of recruitment numbers are to be expected by the winner? Double digits? Triple digits? I would like to knowif I had a chance at winning before I even considered working hard at recruiting people.

Thanks

See: http://www.modelaircraft.org/membershipdrive/FAQs.pdf for the rules.

The current leaders have 4 new members each to their credit.
the new member must list your ama number for you to get credit.
if they list a club as sponsor the club gets the credit.
if they list an AMA # from a hobby shop, the hobby shop gets the credit(no multiple credits allowed)

see: http://www.modelaircraft.org/members...e/leaders.aspx for updated totals.

SO join the AMA and get to work! You should have no problem winning if the persons in the lead only have 4 new members to their credit!

Something else to consider: A lifetime AMA membership cost $1500. You could go to a mall and sign up 10 people, pay the membership fee yourself($580) and you would still be ahead lots of money!
OR you could check the leader board often and make sure your always one member ahead of the first runner up! The break even point would be 26 new memberships.
