The AMA is a member driven orginization. The opinion of every member counts. As I stated in a previous post, I will seek support for the proposed Bi-Laws changes from the membership-not just the Leader Members.

All you need is 19 others to support you and then send it in to the EC.

RE: about leader members
If I remember correctly, when it comes to voting, one, the Leader Members job is to ask his or her club members what they think and vote accordingly.

Been doing this for over 25 years not once has any leader member in any club I've belonged to asked our opinion on anything.

RE: about leader members
I belong to three clubs and attend almost all of the club meetings. I report anything that I know that is going on within the AMA to the mrmbers at the meetings. It is obvious to me that 95% of the members wish that I would shut-up so we could end the meeting. Unless it has some direct impact on our club, they don't care.

between those LM that believe they are part of a secret fraternity and membership at large that really doesn't want to know a whole lot about the workings of the AMA, we have a tough sell trying to change the LM image.

RE: about leader members
Or maybe they are just trying to help the hobby http://www.modelaircraft.org/forums/tm.aspx?m=13788 just about anything the AMA give a try gets derailed from making it look like a train running over its members by the few of you in every forum you can get in to.
and make it sound like your just trying to help.what nice guys you are.

RE: about leader members
You know FrankP, what you say is as close to the real deal as it gets. We have a AVP in one of our clubs. He reports on the AMA every meeting. Everyone is nice to him when he speaks, but they just don't listen to what he has to say. Most just don't care about what the AMA does as long as they have a place to fly. The only thing that is a secret in the AMA is there is no secrets.

RE: about leader members
A few days ago I received a message from a Leader Member informing me that he and a few other LM's are forming a group of LM's to come up with plans to increase the AMA membership. I am willing to do what I can in support of the AMA but I have to ask what is the EC doing about membership other than hireing marketing firms. The AMA formed a group of members last year to study this and other problems called the STF. A lot of members signed up in support. The group has become dorment due to lack of direction from the AMA.

RE: about leader members
FrankP, you make some good points. "The group has become dormant due to lack of direction from the AMA" The draw back to that statement is: We are the AMA. Every Member. As you pointed out in a post about the club members wish you would sit down and be quite when talking about the AMA. Perhaps the STF is failing because it has become another forum of the way we do things in any club USA. In the world there is a saying that 90% of the work is done by 10% of the membership in just about all organizations.
Some people think and I agree, the hobby/sport of model aviation is trying to find itself. Can that also be said about the AMA and the membership? At times we all seem to agree there is a problem. At no time do we ever agree on the solution to the problems.
Somehow the leader members are not that big of a deal in the BIG PICTURE.

I will inquire for you.

All inquiries to the mod and previous inquires to the administators have thus far been ignored.

I am asking a general question. Let me clarify. I reviewed your posts and really did not find anything that would be a banable offence. May be the post in question was deleted? I don't know. Take a minute and email the administrator of the forum and kindly ask what issue caused you to be banned. Unfortunately there is nothing anyone here can do about it.
ORIGINAL: phlpsfrnk
Tim,
I'm sure you may be right however why state it is ''An area for members to ask questions, post problems, and find solutions to issues '' when those questions are summarily deleted without cause and a poll (which many thought was a good question including many leader members) gets deleted. Was the poll starting to show a result the Mod did not like? Is it an area for members to ask only certain questions? Who determines what those questions might be?
I’m sorry if I’m asking a lot of questions here and I hope I don’t get banned for it but when I don’t understand something I tend to ask questions. It’s not my fault if no one has a good answer or does not want to respond.

I wonder if the Mods there grew tired of the line of questioning?
