ATMIA Board Meeting Minutes February 1999 Dallas, TX Meeting time: 4 hours In Attendance: Lyle Elias, President Randy Stratton, Vice President David Bartone, Secretary Tom Harper Alan Fryrear, WaterMark Group, Inc. Representative
• Name change from ATM Owners Association to ATM Industry Association Discussion on rationale for change: encompass all aspects of the industry, not just individual retail owners. Goal is to be a driver in the industry for education and as a political voice, as well assist all suppliers and customers in the advancement of the ATM industry. It was agreed that the name change and a new logo were needed. Also the mission statement was rewritten to reflect the broadened strategy.
• Administration and Association Growth An executive director discussion evolved because of the new focus and growth of the association. It was recommended that someone be hired immediately to manage the association. Recommendations were made and agreement to hire Shelley Kinslow for the position was voted on and passed.
• Bylaws Development An immediate order of business is to develop by laws to govern the association. David Bartone, attorney and secretary for the association, agreed to work on this project.
• Additional Membership Benefit Development This is to be a key objective of the new executive director. Ideas for benefits are: additional insurance products, a discounted long distance rate, travel benefits, an affinity program, newsletter and most importantly a conference/trade show. Brainstorming on other goals and objectives took place without any "concrete" missions being established at this time.
