Rosen received the award during the opening ceremony of the 2019 PBSA Annual Conference that took place in September in San Antonio, Texas. The Mike Sankey Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes the outstanding contributions made during a career that advance excellence in the background screening profession. The award is named after the late Michael Sankey, who was its first recipient in 2018.

“I am honored to stand before you this evening to help pay tribute to Les Rosen and his unparalleled contribution to our industry as he receives the Mike Sankey Lifetime Achievement Award.

Rosen was the chairperson of the steering committee that founded the PBSA – then known as the NAPBS – in 2003 and served as first co-chair in 2004. The PBSA was established to promote a high level of ethics and performance standards for the background screening industry and currently represents nearly 900 member companies that conduct millions of background checks each year.
