Special Interest Groups
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are organizations that represent specific areas or disciplines within model aviation. These groups are officially recognized by the AMA and serve as advocates and resources for their particular niche. SIGs help promote their specific interests through events, competitions, and educational efforts. They also act as liaisons between their members and the AMA, ensuring that the needs and concerns of their communities are represented.
