The AAMA Education Committee is
responsible for the review and composition of educational programs to
assist members in enhancing their business.
As an established association, the AAMA feels it is imperative to continue ones education. As a result, the AAMA has teamed up with its sister association, AMOA, in offering two scholarship programs to attend the AMOA Notre Dame Management Program. Unlike standard adult education programs, the AMOA Notre Dame courses are specifically designed for the coin-operated industry. Students commit to attend five weekend sessions over two and one-half years and graduates receive a "Certified Business Executive" certificate upon completion of the program. Patterned after Notre Dame’s executive MBA program and taught by top Notre Dame faculty, the program focuses on business issues directly related to operators. Seminar topics have included Business Law, Economics and the Music/Games Industry, Current Industry Legal Problems, Making Technology Work for You, Interpreting Basic Financial Statements and Managing Change. The AAMA has also established a reputable FREE seminar program in conjunction to its annual trade show, ASI. The infamous seminar program has proven to provide many individuals assistance in keeping their company well informed of the important issues affecting the industry. |
