Edina, MN — ARM Compliance Business Solutions, LLC proudly announces that Debra Ciskey, our Senior Compliance Advisor and a cornerstone of the Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) industry, has been inducted into the ACA International Hall of Fame. Formally recognized on Friday, July 24, 2026, during the ACA International Convention & Expo Awards Ceremony, Ciskey’s induction celebrates a 46-year career built on visionary leadership, compliance excellence, and transformative mentorship.
As the second woman ever to receive this distinction in ACA International’s history, this marks a historic moment for both ACA and our organization.
A Career Defined by Empowerment and Knowledge Sharing
Over four decades, Ciskey has navigated tectonic shifts in regulatory frameworks, technological integration, and compliance paradigms. Long before digital learning platforms became standard, she was on the front lines of ACA’s in-person educational programs, developing foundational coursework and training generations of professionals.
“I love helping people,” said Ciskey upon receiving the honor. “Over the years, so many colleagues have told me at unit meetings that something I taught helped them do their jobs better. To me, that’s what it’s all about. I’m grateful to know I’ve supported the people who make things happen for their families, their companies, and themselves.”
Tributes From Across the Industry
Industry leaders gathered to celebrate Ciskey’s legacy, emphasizing her profound impact on both organizational strategy and individual careers:

Her nomination by an ACA past president speaks to her extraordinary legacy in shaping the educational foundations of our profession.” – Scott Purcell, CEO of ACA International
“When I was new to ACA, I shared a taxi to the airport with Debra and asked her top-of-mind compliance questions. She was so gracious, approachable, and honest. She unknowingly encouraged me to become a leader at ACA myself.” – Jen Whipple, ACA International President 2025–2026
