ATMIA opens nominating process for ATM Industry Champions

May 11, 2017

The ATM Industry Association is calling for nominations and applications for ATM Industry Champions as part of this year's dual anniversary celebrations of the ATM's 50th anniversary and the association's 20th anniversary.

"It's fitting to showcase ATM industry champions on our new portal in this milestone year for the industry," ATMIA CEO Mike Lee said in a press release. "The association honors those who have changed the ATM industry for the better and who exemplify what is meant by good industry citizenship."

The portal of champions has two sections: One includes thought leaders, innovators and movers and shakers currently active in the industry; the other features honorary ATM champions who are not directly involved in the ATM business at present.

"During the past 15 years, I've met many great leaders who have integrity and who are awesome citizens of the ATM industry and I have also met one or two leaders who have betrayed the trust that was invested in them and made dubious, damaging decisions which are not in the interests of the broader ATM industry," Lee said. "The hope is that this expanding portal will showcase the true champions among us and inspire the spread of the good citizenship that is so vital to our future as an industry."

Applications and nominations for ATM industry champions should be sent to mike@atmia.com with a short written explanation why the named individual should be honored as an industry champion.
