The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) announced it is accepting member nominations for its 2019 Operations & Technology Excellence (O&TE) Award. The award will be presented to up to two winners at the ELFA Operations & Technology Conference, Sept. 16-18 in Chicago. The deadline for nominations is Monday, June 3.

The O&TE Award Program identifies and recognizes equipment finance organizations that have successfully implemented an operational excellence initiative and/or a technology innovation project. Submissions may include—but are not limited to—a new initiative, business model, customer experience improvement, 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 Chicago in September.

In addition to receiving recognition at the Operations & Technology Conference, the winner will receive industrywide recognition at the 2019 ELFA Annual Convention, Oct. 27-29 in Washington, DC; in Equipment Leasing & Finance magazine; on the ELFA website; in the ELFA QuickBrief e-newsletter; and on the association’s social media channels.
