AdvisoryBoard

makes it uniquely successful among other industry
media outlets.

As a payment processing leader, First Data relies
on publications like these to report on important
developments and innovations in payments to not only
share information from our company but to stay in
touch with trends in the industry. I joined the advisory
board to make sure First Data continues to provide
relevant payment solutions by staying in touch with
this community. Personally, it is a way to give back to
an industry that has benefited me so much in my career.

The Green Sheet has been a great platform for different
players in the card processing industry to have a
collective voice over the years. With technology and
government intervention changing this industry faster
than ever, The Green Sheet has thrived as a resource that
delivers on how the changes impact both established
companies and new entrants.

The fact that The Green Sheet has transitioned from a
"green print" publication distributed to tons of ISOs,
MLSs and other payment executives to a successful
online presence (as represented by the activity in the
discussion forums) proves it is still relevant in the
Internet Age. Congrats on 30 years serving the card
payments industry!

The Green Sheet provides a tremendous resource for
everyone involved in the payments industry. It is the
go-to source for information about industry trends and
other salient topics, providing informative articles and
thoughtful editorials. I read every issue and frequently
visit www.greensheet.com to keep my finger on the pulse
of the industry.

It's no surprise that the publication has withstood the test
of time and is now celebrating its 30-year anniversary.
Joining The Green Sheet Advisory Board has allowed me
to share my own thoughts about the industry and stay
engaged with the payments community.

When I first got in the industry in 2000, there really
wasn't any training available to learn the ins and outs.
Luckily, in March of 2001, I found The Green Sheet forum.
I spent day and night for months reading posts and
answers from very intelligent people. I looked and still
look forward to getting a copy in the mail, although
there are quite a few more advertisements in there than
12 years ago, including ours.
