Mike Albert Leasing Kicks Off 50th Anniversary Celebration

CINCINNATI, OH, February 22, 2007 – Mike Albert Leasing is kicking off its 50th Anniversary Celebration this week, beginning with company founder Robert Betagole’s acceptance of the Greater Cincinnati Auto Dealer’s Association President’s Vanguard Achievement Award.

The award is given to leaders who have made significant contributions to the Cincinnati automotive business – not only as outstanding small business owners, but also as citizens dedicated to community service and the betterment of the industry within the community.

Mr. Betagole, the award’s fourth recipient, began buying and selling cars for his uncle, Mike Albert, at the age of 13. In 1957, the used car dealership entered the leasing business and Mike Albert Leasing was founded with Mr. Betagole at the helm. Fifty years later, the company is celebrating its 50th anniversary and recognizing Mr. Betagole for 50 years of outstanding leadership.

Mike Albert Leasing is making plans to commemorate the historic year. Further details will be released as they become available.
