Hudson, the general manager of NCR's EasyPoint ATM LLC, has been named a member of ATMIA's executive board. Hudson, who is filling a vacancy, will immediately assume his position.

"I appreciate the ATMIA Executive Board's vote of confidence in electing me to the Board. ATMIA has long been a champion of the ATM industry, on behalf of both banks and ISOs alike.

It is a privilege to join a board of some of our industry's most recognized leaders," he said.
