Visit us on Facebook & LinkedIn 3 | NAAA ON THE BLOCK | MARCH 2020 www.naaa.com PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Icing on the Cake Birthdays usually include a baked confection with candles, but for the 63 NAAA auction members listed in this issue who are celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, maintaining a successful business decade after decade is no piece of cake. In today’s commercial environment, only a bit more than one-third of businesses — between 34 percent and 36 percent — survive to their 10th year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the average age of an S&P 500 company is under 20 years — down from 60 years in the 1950s. So for these auctions to achieve a decade or more of not just surviving, but thriving, through recessions, regulations, and technological revolutions, is proof of their years of commitment, hard work, and the ability to adapt to the changing business landscape. That longevity and growth is a testament to their good management, good employees, and good customer service. As NAAA president, I’m honored to congratulate those members who are marking milestone anniversaries this year, and I’m proud to say that this association is dedicated to the ongoing success of all our members. The benefits and services NAAA provides — education and instructional programs, safety awareness and training, leadership development, advocacy at the national level with a political action committee, publications, conferences and networking events, and policies for best practices — are there to support the enrichment and advancement of every member’s business. You’ll find two examples in these pages with articles about the exciting highlights of the upcoming NAAA President CAR Conference this month (that I know you won’t want to miss!), and how we have created a Safety Training Kit that makes the online Safe T. Sam instructional series available on DVD and USB flash drive to expand the accessibility of NAAA’s safety certification program. That’s why I believe that no matter what age and achievement your company is celebrating, the value of being a member of the NAAA puts the icing on the cake.

    Legislative Analysis PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS TOURNAMENT LIQUOR LICENSE Phone: (517) 373-8080 http://www.house.mi.gov/hfa Senate Bill 820 as passed by the Senate Analysis available at Sponsor: Sen. Kimberly LaSata http://www.legislature.mi.gov House Committee: Ways and Means Senate Committee: Regulatory Reform Complete to 11-10-20 SUMMARY: Senate Bill 820 would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to include the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) Tour Champions Tournament as a sports-related event eligible to receive a national sporting event license that allows the sale of alcohol on the premises. Eligibility for the license would not be only for a specific calendar year or years. The Liquor Control Code allows special liquor licenses to be issued for the duration of national sporting events under certain circumstances, including if the event is conducted under the auspices of a national sanctioning body and the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) determines that the event will attract a substantial number of tourists from outside the state. A national sporting event license is issued for not more than 30 days and must be for specific designated time periods that include the event and activities associated with it. The governing body of a host local unit of government must provide to the MLCC, for its review, a list of the applicants and locations of the premises to be licensed. The governing body must recommend the number of licenses to be issued in the theme area or areas. The MLCC cannot issue any licenses not recommended by the local unit of government.
