AMA Chartered Club Toolkit

Did you know that AMA has a free, digital club tool kit that can help grow your club, strengthen community relationships, and introduce model aviation to others? The AMA Chartered Club Toolkit, at www.modelaircraft.org/ama-club-toolkit, is a comprehensive resource designed to support clubs in their operations, outreach efforts, and the promotion of the hobby of model aviation, with printable flyers, marketing material, and value props, as well as valuable information for safety, education, insurance, clubs and flying sites, government advocacy, events and competitions, philanthropy and history, and the model aviation community!

Matt Ruddick and Lee Ray introduced the AMA Chartered Club Toolkit in the February 7 edition of AMA Air, which can be viewed on AMA’s YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/TFjx29KpuOM?si=LubRafAUOCX6btad.
