I let my membership to the DOA expire soon after the local chapters were dissolved. I had the impression that the then president, Ed Bernstein, wanted to try to keep the club and it's activities in the southern California area to further promote his business. There have been several people who have resigned their positions from the club when he became president, and I'm not surprised about that one bit considering the things I've heard from people who have done business with him.
