Nomination - Rufus H. "Bud" Reitzel Lifetime Commitment Award (2019)

***Self-nominations will not be accepted.***

Considered one of the industry's founding fathers and a mentor to so many in the industry today, Bud brought integrity, innovative thinking, and passion to the industry he helped create. The values and integrity Bud instilled at Asset Acceptance and impressed on those he did business with, are put into practice every day by thousands of industry professionals who knew him or who work for those who did.

RMAI created the Reitzel Award to recognize an individual for outstanding leadership and dedication in the receivables management industry, and who has demonstrated over many years of service the ideals that Bud so firmly believed in. This award is a fitting tribute to the life and legacy of Bud Reitzel, who passed away in 2012. Bud’s commitment to honesty, doing what was right, respecting the consumer, and treating everyone fairly are traits he lived by as he mentored others to follow. His vision, leadership, and advocacy were instrumental in the creation of an industry that thrives today.
The award is presented each year at RMAI's Annual Conference on the basis of identification of worthy recipients. The selection committee is chaired by the current Past President of RMA and members include RMAI's Executive Committee.
