MOORPARK, Calif. — Inc. Magazine has named Chosen Payments to its 2017 Annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the fastest growing privately owned companies in America. 

The list represents a comprehensive review of privately held corporations that make up the backbone of the nation’s commerce and economy. Companies such as Dell Computers, Domino’s Pizza and Zillow have appeared on this list in their infancy.   

Chosen Payments, listed as The Chosen Group, was ranked #800 in a review of more than six million privately owned companies.

Chosen Payments President and CEO Jeff Brodsly will accept the Inc. 5000 award at the Annual Inc. 5000 Conference to be held in Palm Springs Oct. 10-12.  Chosen will be among handful of industry vendors who have made this exclusive list, which reflects corporate growth and hard work.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized and included on the Inc. 5000 list,” Brodsly said in a press release. “We have never applied for this award and we are thrilled that we made it in our first year!”

Brodsly attributes the growth and success of his privately owned company to a dedicated team of 113 people who are tasked with delivering white glove service in every interaction. The company operates under a motto of “Your Partner In Success” and focuses on building relationships with each and every client rather than simply providing merchant services such as credit card processing.
 
Brodsly began Chosen Payments in September 2011 as a one man operation. Six years later, the company has 113 staffers working in multiple offices in California, Utah, Michigan, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Tennessee. The company focuses its attention on many vertical industries and software integration markets and employs specialists in ground transportation, funeral care, jewelry, hotels and resorts, health care, and more. The company is the exclusive credit card processor for the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) and processes cards for all NHRA race tracks.

“Jeff and his team at Chosen Payments are one of our most valued partners,” said Kevin Sisk, First Data’s senior vice president of Partner Solutions. “They have been a Chairman’s Council winner at First Data six times, and they do tremendous work expanding First Data’s brand, products, and solutions into new markets.”

At last year’s tournament, about 85 operators and vendors played at blackjack, poker and roulette tables and participated in a silent auction to raise $17,000 minus event costs for the association’s lobbying efforts in Sacramento.

The event also provides an opportunity to meet and mingle with the Torrance-based LCT Magazine editorial team of Martin Romjue, Lexi Tucker, and Jim Luff.

<p>Cherry Valley Country Club (photo courtesy of LANJ)</p> EAST HANOVER, N.J. — The Limousine Association of New Jersey (LANJ) will be holding its first annual Golf Outing on Sept. 18 at the Cherry Valley Country Club in Skillman.

In addition to serving as a networking opportunity for local and affiliate members, the first annual LANJ Golf Outing will be raising funds for both the association itself and the Police Unity Tour. Key sponsors for the event include Cadillac Professional Vehicles and Ford and Lincoln Limousine and Livery Vehicles.

Individual golfers can sign up for $195 or get a $25 per person savings ($100 total) by registering a foursome for $680. The LANJ Golf Outing is exclusively open to local and affiliate members of LANJ, members of the Police Unity Tour and their guests. The deadline to register for the event is Friday, Sept. 1.

Participation for golfers includes a round of golf, use of a golf cart and all fees, plus breakfast, lunch and unlimited beverages while golfing. For anyone who would like to attend the event but not play golf, a lunch-only option also is available for $70. Members of the winning team of the 18-hole round of golf will all receive gift cards in the amount of $150 each. There will also be hole contests offering additional prizes.

“The LANJ Golf Outing provides a brand new way for our members and affiliates to network with fellow transportation operators and suppliers doing business in New Jersey in a fun and team-minded setting,” said Brian O’Neill, executive board member at LANJ. “We’re also honored to host members of the Police Unity Tour and have the opportunity to use the event as a way for us to support their important work.”

The primary focus of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty. Its secondary purpose is to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum.

The LANJ was created to ensure that New Jersey operators are treated fairly by legislators, enforcement officers and governing bodies. LANJ members provide pre-arranged chauffeur-driven transportation to corporations and private clients throughout the region.

To register for the first annual LANJ Golf Outing, please visit http://ift.tt/2vV4KON. Full payment in advance is required to secure registration for the event.

Continental Captures Past Glory With Quiet Luxury

The Continental’s popularity, however, faded over time, and in 2002, Lincoln stopped producing the car as it turned its focus to more Ford-like midsizers and crossovers, which, in all fairness, have done quite well.

But the Continental refused to go quietly into the night. It is back for 2017, and from all signs, Lincoln and parent-company Ford want to do right by the luxury brand.

2017 Genesis G90 Joins Full Luxury Ranks

<p>(Photo: Genesis)</p>

The 2017 Genesis G90’s exterior is, from most angles, a bit of a hodgepodge of other familiar full-size luxury sedans. BMW’s 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz’s S Class definitely feature in the details, but the overall presence is more in line with the current Lexus LS—which is due to be replaced with an all-new model in just a few weeks.
