The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) announced it is accepting member nominations for its 2017 Operations & Technology Excellence (O&TE) Award. The award will be presented to up to two winners at the ELFA Operations & Technology Conference, Sept. 11-13 in Charlotte, N.C. The deadline for nominations is Monday, June 5, 2017.

The O&TE Award Program identifies and recognizes equipment finance organizations that are focused on innovation in either process re-engineering or technology. Submissions may include—but are not limited to—a new initiative, business model, improved customer experience, consolidation, efficiency or digital transformation project.

ELFA encourages regular members to apply for this award and showcase their success stories at the Operations & Technology Conference in Charlotte in September.

In addition to receiving recognition at the Operations & Technology Conference, the winner will receive industry-wide recognition at the 2017 ELFA Annual Convention, Oct. 22-24 in Orlando, FL; in Equipment Leasing & Finance magazine; on the ELFA website; in the ELFA QuickBrief e-newsletter; and on the association’s social media channels.
