EOSC PBL
Names Businessperson Of The Year
(Press Release 2-24-04) Hank Mooney, Office of Public Information Rick Mask Named EOSC PBL Businessperson of the Year Rick Mask, CEO of Visual Lease Services, Inc. of Holdenville, was named the 2003–2004 Eastern Oklahoma State College Businessperson of the Year. Mask was honored during the club’s recent celebration of American Enterprise Day. “Thank you for this honor,” Mask said. ““Always believe in yourself!” “Don’t let anyone tell you that you cannot do something. Work hard and make it happen!” Mask and his brother began their business out of their homes. Now they employ over 30 people, servicing more than 44 Oklahoma counties, and have a budget in excess of $1 million. The business began as an assessment operation using GPS equipment as an inventory analysis tool. The GPS equipment was used in conjunction with GIS analysis to build an information database for county governments. This has led to many counties receiving tax dollars from the oil and gas industry that previously had gone undetected. Mask has more than 34 years experience in comprehensive real estate revaluation of governmental entities in various states. He has been CEO of Visual Lease Services, Inc., since 1996. He is married to Estella Bennett–Mask, Eastern business instructor, and has two daughters and two grandchildren. In his spare time, he enjoys riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle and spending time with family. Mask will be nominated by the Eastern chapter for the state Businessperson of the Year honor. Future Business Leaders of America–Phi Beta Lambda, Inc., is a national student vocational education association that prepares students for careers in business and business education. Membership is over 260,000 in 11,000 chapters across the United States and abroad. Future Business Leaders of America is the high school division; Phi Beta Lambda is the collegiate division.
