Two weeks from this weekend!
That's correct. About two weeks from now hundreds of us will be arriving at the NYNY Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The team conferenced today and everything is coming along great. Patty Beazley reported that in spite of the largest selection of classes ever the seminar has every class covered with knowledgeable and dedicated instructors who are ready to share their experience with the attendees and at the same time encourage the attendees to share their expertise with everyone else.
AIMS also announced today its prestigious Jimmy Floyd Foundation scholarships.
Recipients are:
Bobby Park – California Department of Occupational Safety and Health
Chad Rankin – Disneyland
Jimmy Floyd was one of the owners and the operator of Cumberland Valley Shows headquartered out of Lebanon Tennessee. Cumberland Valley Shows, under Jimmy's leadership, was one of the premier traveling shows to run the mid-west from Michigan to Florida. Jimmy was an advocate for safety and the betterment of the amusement industry and was active in ASTM F-24 and OABA. He was a big believer in safety training. Jimmy succumbed to cancer in early 1998 and has been missed by all those who knew him. He was a voice for the carnival industry and for safety. It was in his honor that a scholarship program was established by AIMS to allow others the opportunity improve their knowledge and skills in amusement ride safety.
Congratulations Bobby and Chad. I look forward to seeing you guys!!
