IALEI and IAAPA Evaluate Potential Merger
After Fun Expo, officials from the International Association for the Leisure and Entertainment Industry (IALEI) and the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) announced the two attractions industry trade associations are considering a merger.
The IALEI board of directors met during Fun Expo in Las Vegas on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 and voted to talk further with IAAPA about merging IALEI into the IAAPA organization. The IALEI board appointed a task force of members to work out the details with IAAPA.
"Approximately six months ago, we started a thorough review of the future of our organization, the way we do business, and how we support our members," said IALEI Chairman Richard Sanfilippo. "As a result of those conversations, we carefully considered a number of options, but the board felt merging into IAAPA was the best long-term decision for our organization and our members."
Following the IALEI board meeting, IALEI and IAAPA signed a memorandum of understanding. The IAAPA board of directors and membership of IALEI will vote on a final proposal in May.
"We appreciate the interest of the IALEI board in merging the two organizations said IAAPA President and CEO Charlie Bray.
