THE PURPOSE FOR FORMATION OF THE SOCIETY WAS "TO COLLECT, HOUSE, KEEP, PRESERVE AND DISPLAY HISTORICAL MATERIALS, RECORDS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE SPORT OF POWER BOAT RACING, AND TO DO ALL THINGS NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH SAID OBJECTIVES." IN 1983 THE ORGANIZATION SUBMITTED AMENDED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO THE STATE OF MICHIGAN TO AMEND ARTICLE 2 (PURPOSE OF FORMATION) TO ADD A PROVISION AS FOLLOWS: "TO ESTABLISH, OPERATE AND MAINTAIN A MUSEUM FOR THE PRESERVATION AND DISPLAY OF ARTIFACTS REFLECTING THE HISTORY OF POWER BOAT RACING IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN AND THROUGHOUT THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES AND FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC WITH RESPECT TO THAT SPORT; AND TO DEVISE, DEVELOP AND SPONSOR PROGRAMS OF AN EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC OR CHARITABLE NATURE RELATING TO THE SPORT OF POWER BOAT RACING, ALL FOR THE PUBLIC WELFARE." APBA HISTORICAL SOCIETY RECEIVES SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT REVENUES GENERATED FROM THE INITIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATIONS' EXPENDITURES CONSIST PRIMARILY OF GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO ENDEAVOR TO FURTHER THE VARIOUS POWER BOAT RACING PROGRAMS AND TO EDUCATE THOSE INTERESTED IN THE SPORT. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSIST OF MEMBERS WITH AN UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF BOATING. IT IS THEIR MISSION TO FOSTER THIS UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF BOATING BY SPONSORING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION RELATED TO BOATING SAFETY, DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE EQUIPMENT, TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR PARTICIPANTS AND ASSOCIATES, AND OTHER ISSUES AFFECTING THE BOATING INDUSTRY AND THROUGH THE ACQUISITION AND INTERPRETATION OF MATERIALS THAT REFLECT THE HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF BOATING AND THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
