[AISWorld] Is AIS just another US Marketing Corporation?

[Robert Willis]

While I am not certain about the effect on the status of AIS as a professional organisation - this move certainly casts doubt on the ethical and moral state of the Association.  I, fr one, am seriously re-considering my continued support and membership.

Facebook has made a business out of cheating consumers, and it has serially flouted the laws of a variety of countries.

For AIS to make such an award makes a complete mockery of endeavours to lift the status of the AIS from that of a club of business associates to the level of a professional association.
