He was the secretary of the NMA from 1984-1987but it turned out that he had a tallboy which was a mahogany veneer on a teak base and he was expelled.
Up until '87 the Association had always promoted the use of molten beeswax and it is seen as many as a deliberate slight to Kojak that they switched their stance on propellant based polishes on his departure.

You're very knowledgeable, but did you knowin late '87, Kojak, slighted by the switch set up the United Mahogany Movement (UMM). Most mahogany dealers were adverse to paying two sets of subscription fees, and didn' want to join a franchise started just out of spite. The UMM quietly folded later the next year.

I actually still have my UMM membership card.I only found it when we moved house back in August and I am in the process of trying to get my subscription back from Kojak at the moment.
It's my own fault really, for never cancelling the Direct Debit.
