I’m writing before Christmas and you are reading this after the New Year. I hope Santa was good to you and I wish all a Happy New Year.

Clubs are busy renewing memberships and setting their schedule of the year’s events. Now is a good time for Leader Members to ask for someone to speak about AMA programs and see if any can be done in your club.

Everything can be found on the AMA website or in the Leader Member Web pages. Subscribe to AMA Today and Insider so you can stay up-to-date and keep AMA clubs and members well informed.

Good communication almost always leads to good results. I have visited many clubs in my local area and all have invited me back to keep them informed on AMA news. My goal this year is to have a Leader Member in each local club who is willing to become the club’s AMA go-to-person at the local level. It isn’t hard and takes very little time once you get into a regular routine.

Always have the AMA membership manual on hand because it can answer many questions.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Have a great New Year.
