 AAMA serves as the legislative voice of the coin-operated amusement industry in dealing with a variety of government issues which directly effect the industry.

Our Government Relations Committee focuses on legislative issues that may or are affecting the coin-operated industry. The committee works closely with it's Lead Counsel,  Elliott Portnoy of Sonnenschein, Nath and Rosenthal to monitor such issues as we track events occurring on Capitol Hill.

Over the years, the association has worked on a number of key issues including the Dollar Coin, strengthening trademark and copyright laws, and other pertinent issues. In 2003, the AAMA along with its committee, held its' annual meeting in Washington, D.C. The event not only held AAMA Board of Director's and committee meetings; but the AAMA also held a special Congressional Luncheon in the Capitol building. The event was a proactive approach to educate Members of Congress on the industry's concerns and issues and what they can do to support our industry.

Overall, such efforts allow AAMA to maintain a visible presence in our nation's Capitol.
