Gold Leader Club - 495th R/C Squadron, Inc.
The 495th R/C Squadron - An AMA Gold Leader Club!!
In order to recognize the leadership of the best model clubs, the Academy of Model Aeronautics has established the AMA Leader Club Awards. These awards can be earned by any AMA Chartered Club by meeting certain standards of community service and activity. There are three levels of AMA Leader Clubs: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Once a chartered club club meets the minimum criteria for Leader Club participation, it qualifies for the different levels based on performance.
The AMA has established 14 goals for Leader Club status. Five of these goals are required. A club that meets the required five goals, plus three of the electives, qualifies as a Bronze Leader Club. Meeting the required five goals, plus six electives, qualifies the club for the Silver level. The ultimate recognition, Gold level, requires that all goals be met.
The 495th R/C Squadron, Inc. has been an AMA recognized Gold Leader Club since 2004. Congratulations to the Club, and a heartfelt thanks to all that helped make this milestone possible!
