🏆❤️ What an incredible ending to
the 2026 IRTA Convention!
Saturday night’s Awards Dinner was one of those special evenings that reminds us what the International Reciprocal Trade Association is really about — not only an industry, but a community of people who have spent years building businesses, supporting one another and helping barter and reciprocal trade continue to grow and evolve.
Throughout the evening, we had the privilege of recognizing so many outstanding individuals for their leadership, innovation, years of dedicated service and contributions to our industry.
🌟 One of the most special moments of the evening was the induction of Mary Ellen Rosinski of TradeSource into the IRTA Hall of Fame! 🌟
Mary Ellen’s years of dedication and contribution to the barter industry have earned her a place among those who have made a lasting impact on our profession. Congratulations, Mary Ellen, on this tremendous and very well-deserved honor! 🏆👏
This year’s convention has been filled with learning, collaboration, new ideas, new tools and technology, and countless conversations about how we can continue making our exchanges stronger. Everyone leaves with renewed energy and new ways to create opportunities and provide even greater value to the members and businesses we serve.
And a huge congratulations to all of our amazing 2026 IRTA award winners! Your dedication, leadership and commitment strengthen our industry every day. Thank you for everything you contribute to IRTA, to one another, and especially to the businesses and clients you work so hard to serve. It was truly wonderful to celebrate all of you! ❤️🏆
