Oh Dear;
M.D.: Is that file being emailed to all AOPA members or is it on the AOPA web?.
I am an AOPA member myself, and if the basics are as you say then R.K. is right.
If AOPA is to be run as a serious business then such provisions need to be allowed for.
To fill the vacancy the AOPA board can always take on one of EMRON's ex-accountants who specialise in creative accounting.
