Social Media telling the OABA Story by Holly Swartz, Chair, Communications Committee T
elling stories is an age-old tradition, and when it comes to social media we are seeing stories unfolding on many levels. From personal experiences, busi- nesses or organizations, there are stories to be told and to be heard. The Outdoor Amusement Business Association is unfold- ing its story on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and
OABA.com (Digital ShowTime Magazine) where members can see what’s happening, interact and be informed. The OABA has a story to tell and it really is worth hearing. Let’s see how our story unfolds regard- ing our mission statement.

TO PROMOTE THE PRESERVATION AND GROWTH OF THE OUTDOOR AMUSEMENT
INDUSTRY THROUGH LEADERSHIP… The OABA story is rich with history as it represents a broad spectrum of people in the Amusement Industry. All of us have someone we have looked up to or aspired to be like as a business or show person. We see this in the Pioneers we have honored over the years and in our industry Hall of Fame leaders who have helped pave the way. OABA is help- ing to preserve the legacy of those before us that helped to make our industry so great and special!
ADVOCACY…
The OABA story also shares what is happening now — those issues that are important and pressing to us at this time that need a big voice to make a big difference. Most have been affected by or heard about H-2B. We are sharing the struggle and fight for a permanent solution regarding seasonal work- ers. Also, making known the fundraising efforts and keeping people informed. OABA also shares what U.S. Regulatory Actions they are involved in across the United States; issues that touch almost everyone in the Amusement Industry.
AND EDUCATION.
Our industry has a genuine concern for safety and the OABA has been forward in promoting safety education. This is an important part of our story as fairs and carnivals bring many smiles to the public with thrilling rides, and safety is paramount. The OABA has developed the Virtual On Line Training (VOLT) safety program that helps our industry in the area of safety.
The OABA story has much more to offer, such as the Mobile Amusement Industry (MAI) Scholarships — help- ing our young people continue in higher education with a hope that they can carry on family legacy. And let’s not forget the Circle of Excellence program that tells the story that our industry is committed in achieving and maintaining a standard that raises the level of expecta- tion and stereotypes from days gone by. Make sure you are connected with our social media platforms and give them a like! OABA is a great organization that cares about our industry and cares about you, and that is a great story to tell!
