CHICAGO – Anna Rentschler, CRCM, AMLP, Vice President and BSA Officer for Central Bancompany, received the 2008 Distinguished Service Award at the American Bankers Association’s Regulatory Compliance Conference in Chicago yesterday.
The award, first presented in 1995, recognizes outstanding leadership, initiative and accomplishment in banking regulatory compliance management. The ABA Compliance Administrative Committee, composed of 15 leading bank executives in the compliance profession, selects the honoree.
“Anna’s leadership in a variety of compliance initiatives at the state and national levels reflects her strong commitment not only to her bank but to the industry and her compliance peers,” said Chris Spellman, chairman of the ABA Compliance Administrative Committee and compliance officer at Morrill and Janes Bank in Merriam, Kansas. “Anna’s dedication and recognized expertise have been assets to the whole banking industry."
Rentschler currently serves as vice president and bank secrecy act officer for Central Bancompany, a $7 billion holding company in Missouri and Oklahoma. Anna established the Compliance Division of Central Bancompany in 1989 and has been affiliated with the company for the past 23 years. Prior to joining Central Bancompany, she served as a national bank examiner with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Anna has been active with the American Bankers Association in many roles and currently serves on the ABA Chairman’s Committee for Bank Secrecy Act Reform. She has previously served as chair of the ABA Compliance Executive Committee and on the Board of the ABA Bank Compliance magazine. Anna has been a regular member of the faculty at ABA National Compliance Schools and Missouri Bankers Association Compliance workshops. Anna also currently serves on the Federal Reserve Consumer Advisory Council.
The American Bankers Association brings together banks of all sizes and charters into one association. ABA works to enhance the competitiveness of the nation's banking industry and strengthen America's economy and communities. Its members – the majority of which are banks with less than $125 million in assets – represent over 95 percent of the industry's $13.3 trillion in assets and employ over 2 million men and women.
