The OABA's Foundation for the Future is a vision and an ambitious set of industry goals. Its purpose is to educate and produce change, and in so doing to improve the business climate for OABA members, while raising the public perceptions of the mobile amusement industry. Both the Circle of Excellence and Quality Assessment Programs are sponsored and copy written presentations under the OABA's Foundation for the Future Program. For more information, contact Jerry Aldrich, Audit Coordinator at 407.239.6336.
