 No one epitomizes the solid commitment and work ethic of coin machine operators more than this year's AMOA President, Lloyd Williamson.
Throughout the year, Lloyd logged a lot of miles on behalf of AMOA. Everywhere he went, he lead by example: arriving--but never leaving --early, and always connecting with fellow coin-op businesspeople.
From spearheading the celebration of AMOA's 60th Anniversary to formalizing the dialogue with AAMA and other industry groups on key issues, Lloyd's contributions to AMOA and the industry will be felt far into the future.
While Lloyd's demeanor was laid back and soft-spoken, he served as an intense advocate for his membership, organization and industry.
As his one-year term as AMOA President concludes two weeks from today, Lloyd--always popular among his peers--has demonstrated strong skills in leading them as well.
As a footnote, four days after the conclusion of this year's Expo--when we celebrate the 60th anniversary of AMOA--Lloyd and Nancy Williamson will mark a special milestone of their own, with September 16 being the couple's 50th wedding anniversary.
While a bit early, we say: Congratulations, Lloyd, both on the completion of a successful year as AMOA President, and on your 50 years of being together with Nancy. And, of course, kudos to Nancy, too!
