I continue to hope they will give us a best of both worlds deal. Otherwise they are really wasting a ton of our money. I appreciate the dues holiday though.
I respectfully disagree, and I think that it’s not quite honest to characterize those who are pro-ALPA merger as a 10% vocal minority.
i happen to like most things about APA. But the lack of transparency and the dirty gamesmanship of pretending to give the membership a voice in this matter while designing a process that ensures the “apathetic” who won’t vote carry the day AGAINST the merger is wrong. To add a clause that hamstrings the membership from even bringing the question again for 25 years is the icing on the cake (for the BoD anyways).
