New ATMIA Web portal recognizes ATM Industry Champions

May 23, 2016

The ATM Industry Association has officially launched an "ATM Industry Champions" portal on its website.

According to an ATMIA press release, the new feature aims "to provide global recognition while encouraging good industry citizenship and leadership."

The new portal will be a permanent feature of the ATMIA website. It includes individuals who have contributed over time to the development, growth and overall health of the ATM industry.

"In my 15 years in the ATM industry, I've been privileged to meet many champions of industry," said ATMIA CEO Mike Lee. "From the man responsible for installing the world's first ATM back in 1967, John Shepherd-Barron, to the entrepreneurs and thought leaders today who continue to bring about innovation in our industry, I've been continuously impressed by the men and women who've helped shape our technology, build markets around the world and ensure ethical, good governance."

In the long term, ATMIA intends to use the portal to encourage the growth of industry champions around the globe.

"Just as we discourage apathy, negativity and any damaging conduct, so ATMIA strives to shine a light on the great things happening in the industry which created 3 million ATMs for the world — and the awesome individuals who make these developments happen!" Lee said.

Nominations may be sent at any time to mike@atmia.com.
