General observations or thoughts about AMCA International?

AMCA has had so many accomplishments and impact on the industry worldwide; it is a real tribute to the current members, staff, and those who have participated over the years. AMCA is a small, nimble organization that does a great job of serving the membership. So well that sometimes it gives the impression of a much larger organization.
