For an organization that wants the public to recognize their New Logo, etc,
the ANA is one of the most secretive groups I have ever run across. It
makes me, as a member, wonder what they feel they need to hide. Even if I
don't donate to the United Way, I can find exactly how much money they took
in, and where it went.

The ANA doesn't make it clear how much they are taking in from sources like
their NGC agreement, what they estimate the value of the current contract
is, or how they decide on awarding future contracts. They refuse to
publicly respond to problems, preferring to only answer questions in private
(where they can later deny everything).

How about it, folks? What are you hiding? What it is we'll notice that
will make us want to kick out all the incumbents? How many votes are being
cast by staff members who aren't necessarily even coin collectors, but are
members because they work for the ANA, making them essentially paid proxies?
In fact, how many members out of how many in total are employees? How much
did we pay to have some dyslexic six-year-old crayon a New Logo for us?
