President's Perspective - 2008/02
We have a tremendous resource in
our more than 150,000 members... Where will the Academy of Model
Aeronautics be in one year? In three
years? Five years? All organizations
need a well-thought-out strategic
plan to help answer those questions. All
strategic plans are based on the organization’s
mission, a vision, and a set of defined goals.
AMA is developing its strategic plan.
AMA News District II - 2007/06
THE SIXTH ANNUAL AMA District II
Fly-In was held in August 2006 and was
hosted by the Jersey Coast Sport Fliers
(JCSF). JCSF president Stan Berger wrote
the following as an opening for the club’s
August 2006 newsletter. I couldn’t say this
any better.
District II Report - 2005/03
The hot topic lately has been fail-safe
capabilities in radio-controlled models.
Since last fall, a few big bird events—
including Joe Nall for 2005—have
mandated that all models flown at their
event have an onboard fail-safe that will
default to a low-throttle setting if
activated.
District II - 2006/10
IN MY July 2006 column I wrote about the
newly revised AMA Introductory Pilot
Program and how we hoped that this new
program would help our clubs become
proactive in promoting model aviation in their
local communities.
President’s Perspective - 2011/06
AMA has moved in new and
exciting directions in the last few
years. Support programs have been
enhanced, member benefits have improved,
and we have taken new directions with many
of our community programs.
