• Shaping the direction of an organization;
• Developing programs, services and activities that benefit members and the entire industry;
• Interacting with leading operators and distributors from around the country;
• Contributing something back to the trade that provides for your family, employees.

Those interested in being a candidate are encouraged to visit the association's website: www.amoa.com and click on the Leadership section to learn more about what's involved in being a director.

Editor's Note: As a past-president of AMOA, I most heartedly encourage each of you to consider taking a leadership role in the coin-op industry. AMOA provides an opportunity to both help determine the direction of the industry as well as an experience that you will carry with you for a lifetime.... Jim Pietrangelo (2006)
