SSA as sub chapter of AOPA

This topic has been discussed before but should be revisited. If the gliding community was brought within the umbrella organization of private pilots (ie., AOPA), a larger audience of potential new soaring pilots could be reached. For example, take a look at European flying monthly magazines. There is a section of each magazine devoted to soaring pilots. I'm thinking that if we had some official role within a larger general aviation organization, we would gain exposure to growth of our sport by having our news and articles published within the general aviation publications. Currently, our gliding organization could be termed "isolationist". Talking about growing our sport through our gliding publication is like "preaching to the choir". Integrating with a much larger general aviation community and having access to its publications would create tremendous exposure. I really think it's time for a change
