Debbie Lombardi, president, Barter Business Unlimited, received the International Reciprocal Trade Association’s (IRTA) “Legends Of Barter Award” this past weekend at the barter industry association’s 34th Annual International Convention in Las Vegas, NV.

“I’ve been a barter industry professional for over 30 years now and I am still challenged each day by the changing business climate and how the barter industry is evolving every year. This is a great time to be an entrepreneur and a leader in the barter industry. I am very humbled to receive the IRTA’s ‘Legends Of Barter Award’. I would like to thank Ron Whitney, president, IRTA, and my highly talented Barter Business Unlimited team,” said Debbie Lombardi, president, Barter Business Unlimited.

“What’s the secret to Debbie and her Barter Business Unlimited team’s success? I believe that it’s due to their philosophy of treating customers just like their family. It’s the way BBU does business – and it works very nicely. I’m very proud that Debbie has received this barter industry lifetime award,” said James Varano, restaurateur, Black Eyed Sally’s, Hartford, CT.
