FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) January 07, 2019 -- First American Payment Systems is proud to announce the appointment of eight of its executives and senior staff to various ETA committees for the 2019 calendar year.

First American’s slate of 2019 ETA committee appointees is as follows:
- Brian Dorchester, EVP of Operations – Risk, Fraud & Security

In addition, First American CEO Neil Randel will begin his second consecutive year of service as a member of the ETA Board of Directors.
“The work championed by ETA aligns naturally with our role as a payment technology solutions provider,” said Mr. Randel. “Their ability to effect positive change in policy-making at both the state and national levels is unprecedented, and to the benefit of all who work in financial services. Stepping up via board and committee service is one small way we can demonstrate our appreciation for this hard-working collective of payments professionals.”
ETA is the global trade association of the payments’ technology world. Through its flagship TRANSACT conference and a series of tech and strategic-policy focused forums hosted in major metropolitan U.S. cities throughout the year, the association works tirelessly to shape public policy and to educate industry stakeholders on emerging trends in frictionless commerce.
