The BISA Raiken-Sender Lifetime Achievement Award is named in honor of two former partners of Morgan, Lewis, Bockius LLP (Counsel to BISA). These distinguished gentlemen have had significant impact on our industry, spearheading efforts to allow depository institutions to offer a full range of financial products and services.

The BISA Raiken-Sender Lifetime Achievement Award will be awarded at the discretion of the BISA Board of Directors. It is not intended to be an annual award. Rather, it is meant to be a distinguished honor for someone whose lifetime achievement is worthy of industry recognition.

Nominees will be judged on:
     • contributions and innovations that have impacted the success of the entire industry
     • demonstrated leadership over time within the broad context of the industry
     • high standards of performance that have set an example for others
     • nominees need not be affiliated with a specific financial institution

Past or present BISA Board Members and/or BISA Leadership Members should be either nominators or endorsers for the BISA Raiken-Sender Lifetime Achievement Award. BISA Board Members are eligible for nomination. The BISA Board of Directors will make the final selection whenever they deem a nominee qualifies for this award of distinction.

Allen A. Raiken enjoyed a successful tenure at the Federal Reserve where he became Acting General Counsel before joining MLB as a partner specializing in commercial banking law. He died June, 1995.

Stanton P. Sender was instrumental in the deregulation of the airline and trucking industries before dedicating himself to opening the banking industry to broader financial services. He died November, 1995.
