Mahwah, NJ, October 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The United Network Equipment Dealer Association (UNEDA), an alliance of more than 300 pre-owned network equipment dealers worldwide, has announced the winner of first annual Rothschild Award.
The award was presented to David Manning, Senior Product Manager at Atlantix Global during the annual UNEDA conference on May 15, 2010 in Las Vegas, NV. During the presentation, Manning stated, “It is a privilege and an honor to have won the Rothschild award. While I appreciate the acknowledgment of my peers, I'm not alone in wishing Bob was still with us. He will be missed." After the presentation, UNEDA President John Stafford of Vology Data Systems added, “It is important to recognize the value of everything that Bob Rothschild stood for over the last twenty-plus years in our industry; ethics, dedication and keen insight. Our inaugural winner of the Bob Rothschild award David Manning stands for all of these and more.”
The award was created in honor of Robert Rothschild of Elarasys who passed away suddenly while attending the UNEDA European conference in Dublin, Ireland on September 14, 2009. Rothschild was a 21-year industry veteran and was instrumental in forming the organization and implementing the original draft of Code of Ethics. At the time of his untimely passing, Rothschild was serving as the Vice President of UNEDA as well as the Chairman of the Dispute Resolution Committee.
During the presentation, Rothschild’s wife Linda and son Jeremy were on hand to hand Manning the award. Linda Rothschild said, “I am overwhelmed by the immense support we all received since Bob’s passing. UNEDA will always remain like a family to us.”
UNEDA President, John Stafford continued, “Dave's passionate commitment to highest standards of ethical trading has long been the backbone of UNEDA. Dave has been the standard of excellence for over ten years and I know that Bob would have agreed with his winning of the inaugural award.”
The winner was elected after a nomination process by the general membership. Of that group, three people were selected by the UNEDA Board of Directors for final voting by the general membership. The award will be presented during each annual general UNEDA conference that will take place in the United States.
