The National Automotive Finance Association is still collecting nominations for the two industry awards to be given during the 2025 Non-Prime Auto Financing Conference.
The NAF Association is seeking nominations for the Jack Tracey Pinnacle Award as well as a new accolade to be given this year. The organization will also hand out the Summit Leadership Award.
The association highlighted the Jack Tracey Pinnacle Award is named in honor of one of the organization’s early supporters and its first and long-serving executive director.
Organizers said individuals nominated for this award should have an extensive record of service to an NAF Association member company that is “substantive and encompasses a productive, voluntary effort exceeding the duties of regular employment.” A nominee’s service record will reflect having produced a positive impact beyond an individual company, according to the association.
“Jack will always be remembered as a leader and fierce advocate for the non-prime automotive lending industry. The Jack Tracey Pinnacle Award recognizes a professional at a member organization with enduring service to the non-prime auto finance industry,” the NAF Association said.
The first two recipients of the Jack Tracey Pinnacle Award were Tom Hudson and Jim Bass.
Meanwhile, the NAF Association said the Summit Leadership Award will honor individuals whose vision, guidance, and consistent dedication to excellence have positively influenced the industry. This award celebrates ongoing leadership and the lasting impact these leaders have through their strategic thinking, integrity, and ability to motivate others.
“Individuals nominated for this award should have a proven record of leadership that has shaped and inspired their teams, organizations, and the association, driving meaningful progress and fostering growth for the industry,” the association said.
Organizers said the awards committee will review nominations and give recommendations to the NAF Association board of directors.
The awards will be given in June during the 2025 Non-Prime Auto Financing Conference in Plano, Texas.
Award nominations will be accepted through April 11 via this website.
