CONTINUING EDUCATION COMMITTEE
9:30-10:30AM MONDAY, MARCH 25TH 2019

WESTGATE LAS VEGAS, CONF RM 4

Lori Schneider took roll:

Present: Angel Portugues, Chip O’Hara, Justin Lawrence, Steve Miller, Shawn Dean, Jim Piontek,

Tommy Hendley, Luke Adams, Tim Zahn, Brian Brotsch, Scott John, Tom Graham, John Pascaretti,

Jaime Meyer, Greg Trent, Jeff Prescott, John Lemieux, Lori Schneider, Anne Chouinard

Shawn Dean started the meeting by discussing the next On the Road Session. Lori mentioned Angel
Portugues has an employee that has signed up for the program. The budget came up and the question
of raising the fee was discussed. An increase of $100 per session or $50 per session was suggested.
Tommy Hendley and Brian Brotsch thought the $100 was ok. The number of people in the classes was
discussed. The attendance is down, but the small groups are solid and still get the value. Food &
beverage adds cost for the budget and the added factory tours were an additional expense this last
session but were well received. John Pascaretti mentioned the program is to add value not to make
money off of the program. Greg Trent added it is a great benefit.

Lori mentioned there is $51,000 in the account. Shawn asked if there were other ways to cut costs. Lori
replied only in the food & beverage. The hotel costs are committed for ND, and the rates are low. Scott
John asked about the number of people attending and if all the board of directors had attended. Shawn
had mentioned the focus is on the owners to attend. Lori added managers and other key employees
should attend. This would also step up the curriculum. Shawn asked if there should be a tech level also
to attract more people to the program. Scott asked to have FEC & NBDA involved to add synergy in
larger classes.

Shawn said recruitment is important. John P. suggested the graduates help recruit and to promote the
program. It was delegated to Shawn to ask the board members to stand up at the board meeting and
then sit down if they attended OTR. Leaving those who need to go through the program. Tim Zahn
asked to keep the prices the same.

Lori said the May session will be at Notre Dame and October will be back in Chicago. Looking for a
different location for October, possibly Schaumburg. Also looking at different factory tours. Raw Thrills
and IT were brought up. She asked for suggestions on topics or themes. Scott had mentioned laser tag.
Shawn added bulk vending and service tech. Chip O’Hara brought up having multiple panels with big
groups. Talk of speakers/round tables and cost came up to be continued with the new committee.

The meeting was adjourned.

Program
The 2020 program will resume business as usual as it has been determined there will not be a joint
charitable effort with AAMA this year. It is likely the program will change next year, and the goal this
year is to continue to scale back on the costs to run the program so more of the money that we raise can
be used toward scholarships.

Grand Prize
We would like to finalize the grand prize and bring it before the Foundation Board. Previously the
committee discussed two potential options for grand prize: another ATV similar to previous years or a
vacation gift card. The concerns with the vehicle are the new location as we would need to find another
dealer to work with, and the logistics of doing this prize are complicated. Shipping has been expensive
the past few years and last year the prize was shipped disassembled, leaving the winner to put it
together with no instructions provided. We have offset the cost of shipping the past couple years with a
cash donation received from Grand Vision Gaming but without that donation it would be costly to
provide the shipping to the winner. Also, AMOA is required to withhold taxes on the prize which entails
the winner paying 25% of the value of the prize upfront before it can be delivered.

Cash prizes – cash is king and the winner can spend it however they choose, it is much less expensive
and complicated to deliver than a vehicle. If the cash prize is $5000 or under, AMOA would not be
required to withhold taxes. To promote the prize since there would not be flashy vehicle on display at
the booth, we could print oversize checks. Another idea is to print raffle tickets to look like money. The
idea was presented to the committee to split the grand prize into $5000, $4000, $3000, $2000, $1000.
All members on the call were in favor of the idea. It will be presented to the Foundation Board for final
approval.

Wind machine idea – this would be a great way to draw attention to the booth. Several committee
members are looking into this, obtaining quotes from a rental company and finding out whether any of
the companies who are exhibiting would be willing to let us use their wind machine. We could
potentially do one or two cash grabs per day at specified times. Each purchase of $100 dollars in raffle
tickets could be one entry into the wind machine drawings. If winner is not present at the drawing we
will try to reach them to have them come later.

Not Present: Jamie Meyer (Excused)

Also Present: Lori Schneider

After roll call was taken, a motion was made to approve the minutes from the previous
meeting in September 2018 in Seattle, WA. The motion was approved.

The committee reviewed the Committee Assignment Matrix for the upcoming year. It
was agreed that no additional changes needed to be made.

Rick brought up that we needed to find a way to better describe the duties of each
committee to new directors. Lori stated that there is a description in the new director
orientation book. It was also discussed that a conference call will be held with the new
directors shortly after the trade show to go over committee descriptions and assignments.

Lori asked that we have a conference call with all new committee chairs and vice chairs.
The purpose of the call would be to get the committee chairs to identify and mentor
newer board members so that we can continue to have strong leadership as senior board
members move up. Everyone agreed this was a good idea.

Rick inquired about how overall conference call participation has been in the last year.
Lori stated that overall participation has greatly improved. She felt this was in part
because board members are on less committees which allows them to be more focused
and engaged.

No new business was brought before the committee.

The meeting adjourned at 10:25 AM

INNOVATOR COMMITTEE CALL
JULY 9, 2019

11:00AM CENTRAL

Present: Yaroslav Sobko, Bob Burnham, Scott John, Tommy Hendley, Chuck Brooks, Shawn Dean,

Jeff Douglas, Andy Dunford, Joe Jacobson, Ryan Harris, Aaron Ramos

Not Present: Mike Martinez (E), Jim Piontek (E), Justin Lawrence, Angel Portugues, Kirby Cline, Greg
Young

Also Present: Lori Schneider, Anne Chouinard

Anne Chouinard took roll. Lori Schneider started with explaining the roll of the Innovator Committee.
She further explained the process with the applications coming in and separating the entries into 2
judging groups. The 10 minute initial judging phone calls with 5 minutes for the applicants to describe
their product and then 5 minutes for the judges to ask questions. The second judging takes place at
Expo with the whole committee and then the finals are judged on the show floor the next day to
determine the winner. The focus is on innovation. She added there seems to be a natural separation of
entries and their scores.

Scott John said at the last Expo not all of the VR entries were set up (including not getting the floor
space to display game) or had limited time to try the game so it was an issue on judging. The question
of using videos to help with the judging came up. In the past we kept videos as an additional
attachment to the application for the judges to review before the calls. Videos were not suppose to
replace the judging process. Tommy Hendley asked if the product was suppose to be at the show to
qualify. The answer is yes, but with the progress in the industry the criteria may need to be updated.
Lori suggested that Anne send the previous criteria and entry form to everyone to look over and we
would to take suggestions to help the process. Yaroslav said the videos could help streamline the
process. The idea of having a separate small group to go over the criteria and process was agreed upon.
Lori said we would address that separately after the call with Michael Martinez.

The conversation switched to talking about if AMOA wanted to add an additional award that would not
be innovation based but more for a great product that deserves recognition. Not necessarily focusing on
another category like VR or Bulk, but something that opens up the opportunity for more people to enter
and get credit for a good product. Yaroslav Sobko mentioned an “Operators Choice” award. There was
a consensus that we need to grow the program appropriately with the growth of the industry. The
additional award to be discussed with the small sub-group.

Call adjourned at 10:35

Bob Burnham opened the meeting and greeted everyone. Maggie took roll. She also informed

a quorem.

As current NDA Liaison, Jim Piontek provided an update to the committee on the NDA. He
informed all that Luke Adams was elected to be the next NDA Liaison from AMOA.

The NDA has 254 operator (charterholder) members and just over 46,000 sanctioned players. In
just over two weeks, NDA will be right here at the Westgate for its annual Team Dart event,
which will feature more than 3,000 players competing on nearly 300 dartboards in 11 different
events. Piontek informed the committee of the four 2019 regional tournaments and junior
tournament.

The current status of AMOA and NDA relations are solid. Kim from NDA and Maggie from
AMOA work closely together to close the gap of non-compliant companies. Currently, AMOA
stands at six non-compliant companies which is the smallest number in the last 10 years.

There were no recommendations to the Board nor was there any new business.

PAC Call

Present: Scott John, Bob Burnham, Tommy Hendley, Tim Zahn, Tim Turnquist, Jordan Barberio,

Joe Bundra, Andy Dunford

Non-Present: Jim Piontek (E), Jared McElwee (E), Angel Portugues, Jamie Meyer

Also Present: Lori Schneider, Anne Chouinard

Anne took roll. Lori started the call repoting there is just over $115,000 in the PAC account. She then
explained we need to work on getting authorizations. Currently we have 85 that expired in 2018 we
need to get from members. Lori also explained PAC donations can only be made from personal
accounts, not business accounts. The committee usually does a Spring and a Fall fundraiser in
conjunction with the Expo and the On the Road Program.

PAC Chair Scott John asked if there are funds coming from anywhere else. He was concerned with the
amount of PAC donations last year, we could start to fall lower in the funds than we want to if we don’t
raise more money. Lori explained in 2005 when she started working with PAC we only had $30,000. The
committee is doing better, but in 2010 when AMOA and AAMA combined shows, we lost a golf
sponsorship that helped raise the PAC funds.

Scott asked about other fundraisers that had been done in the past. Lori said there was an “in-kind”
IPAD donation used as a drawing to help promote interest. She mentioned it can be tricky when
following the PAC rules. Also, at one board meeting Chi Babich won the donation another member had
donated. Chi started a bidding war for the item which helped raise more money. Scott said he was
interested in the IPAD idea or another item to help get support.

Scott asked about other PAC donations to be made this year from the account. Lori said it is unlikely any
more would be made, but she will have a better idea at a later date.

Scott asked about setting a goal for the fall. $5000 was decided upon. Lori said the authorization
mailings would go out next week.

The meeting adjourned at 10:25

GRC Chair Tim Zahn took roll call and asked for approval of the minutes from September 17, 2018. Rick
LaFleur made a motion to approve followed by a second from Jim Marsh. Minutes approved.

Tim invited AMOA’s legislative counsel John Russell from Dentons to the podium. John provided the
board with an update of where we currently stand in our efforts on the bank account closure issue
stating we continue to work the issue from several angles.

John shared that Maxine Waters is now chair of the House Financial Services Committee. In addition,
we recently made a PAC donation to Elijah Cummings who chairs the Oversight Committee. Both
members are obviously occupied with current hearings, however, we will meet with their offices to
address the fact our ATMs are helping to bank communities that otherwise would not have access to
these services.

He continued by reporting that we continue to meet with other key legislators and press them to ask for
relevant information from the American Banking Association and regulators.

John encouraged board members to consider coming to DC on future AMOA visits and suggested
everyone get to know their members of Congress. He also encouraged everyone to fill out their PAC
authorizations.

After fielding a couple of questions from the group, John yielded the podium back to Tim.

Tim reported that the next visit to DC is scheduled for the end of April where we hope to build on the
positive meetings conducted in January specifically with the Senate Banking Committee. He, too,
encouraged the board to find out who your legislators are and engage with them.

Jukebox Licensing Update – Sub-committee chair Gaines Butler reported that the Jukebox License Office
agreement will come up for renewal on July 1, 2019. Currently there are 162 AMOA operators holding
2,700 JLO licenses.

The committee looked at creating a reporting mechanism for the unlicensed play of music in commercial
locations on the AMOA website, however, due to liability will need to look at other alternatives. The
group hopes to setup a meeting with ASCAP/BMI when we are in Nashville this September.

PAC Update – Sub-committee chair Brian Brotsch reported that so far for 2019, the PAC Committee had
raised $3,050 and the current balance in the PAC account is $112,552. To date we currently have 132
authorizations on file. The PAC fundraiser for the Fall will take place at AMOA’s On the Road.

Chairman Zahn returned to the podium and asked for a motion to accept the Government Relations
report. A motion was made by Rick LaFleur followed by a second from Jim Marsh. The motion carried
and the Government Relations Committee Meeting adjourned.
