Mike Lee, the ATM Industry Association's CEO, was honored on Friday by ATMIA for 10 years of service. Dana Benson, who also has been with the association for 10 years, was recognized for her 10 years of service as well.
"This year is the largest conference we've ever had (in the United States)," Lee said when he presented Benson with the award. "I think that's a testament to Dana's contribution to the organization and the industry."
ATMIA also recognized four ATM innovators for their work and continuous contribution to the industry.
John Clatworthy of Cash Connect received the top honor — the Award for Excellence for 2009. Cash Connect is the oldest service provider of vault cash in the United States.
This year ATMIA gave Lifetime Achievement awards to two recipients, Mark Levenick of Tidel Engineering LP and Michael Hudson of Tidel Revolution LLC. And Peter Kulik of Fifth Third Processing Solutions took the Global ATM Security Alliance Award.
