President, Rauch-Milliken International, Inc.

Steve Rauch is a founding partner and President of Rauch-Milliken International, Inc. established in 1989.  RMI has been serving the credit community throughout the US and internationally with commercial collections and receivable management services.

The importance of collections became evident at the age of 13 while delivering newspapers to apartment rentals.  Throwing papers in the rain to three story buildings was the easy part, but collecting money at the end of the month after services were rendered proved much more challenging.  Fast forward 15 years and he realized all commercial businesses that extend credit had the same challenges - the need for effective collections. 

Steve is an active alumnus of Brother Martin High School in New Orleans.  He attended LSU and received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of New Orleans.  For the past 30+ years he has been a member of Commercial Law League, International Association of Commercial Collectors, and the Louisiana Collectors Association where he served as past president, treasurer, and as a board member for 25 years.  He has been a panelist speaker at NARCA and NACM.  He is also a founding member of CCAofA.

Through the years he has been an active supporter of St. Jude Children's Hospital, Covenant House, and Special Olympics.  He is married to his bride of 28 years, and they are most proud of their three beautiful, successful children.  In his spare time, he is a avid tennis player and enjoys travel, boating, and motorcycling.
