[NSRCA-discussion] District Realignment with AMA - Was redistricting

[Atwood, Mark]

Getting away from the district champ discussion for a sec, I wanted to
make a quick comment on the subject of district realignment regarding
AMA districts.

 

I'm personally all in favor of not worrying toooo much about which
district I compete in...I got to the contests that maximize my
enjoyment...lots of factors enter into that including drive time,
attendance, flying site, etc.

 

To me, the only "redistricting" that would have any real merit, would be
to realign our districts with the AMA districts.  It doesn't really
serve ANY value to "joe" pattern flyer to do this.  But it does help out
a number of administrative issues when working with the AMA.  Most
selfishly, is that I'm on the contest board for AMA district 3 and I
live/fly primarily in NSRCA District 4.  So the "input" that I get from
the pattern community on how to vote...I sort of have to filter to
determine what is coming from my "constituents" and what is from AMA
District 6 or elsewhere.  Not to mention I have to make a pretty
concerted effort to solicit info from the eastern regions of District 3.

 

Re-labeling everything doesn't really change that...  But it paints a
clearer picture of who represents who and eliminates some confusion.

 

All that being said...Long live District 4.5 :-)
