Having mused on HC's comment "....Now if I don't say much more, it is because an endorsement from me, ref. AMA...," I'm inclined to agree with that reasoning.
The old men that run our organization, having BTDT when it comes to issues like regional flying sites can simply diss such notions because somebody tried that and failed. The proof is there; one attempt failed vs. no attempts that succeeded. Old men can see that clearly, why can't everybody?
Besides it involves as another poster observed "..being on the Board of Directors of a large membership organization with a multi-million dollar a year budget." I can relate to that, sharing experience similar to that with ltougas. As he has and I and peers in the technical project management arena have routinely handled multi-million dollar a year budgets comparable to AMA's in a perfunctory manner, it may seem easy...........but there's a catch: we didn't have the 'help' of a dozen peers, a CPA, a legal beagle or three, who-knows-how-many staffers and expert kibitzers, et al. All that help turns a minor, routine task on the sidelines into a disproportionately large and vexatious undertaking.

LT, give it up and leave running AMA to old men.
