It is a true pleasure to slow down once a year over a meal and honor NACM’s Past Chairman. It’s a nostalgic gathering of dedicated members and retirees who chose to lead the organization through a term of service on our Board of Directors. The service as Chairman dated back 45 years for some attendees and careers in credit around the table began before I was even born. Oh, the stories that were told! I was humbled by the continued passion for the credit profession and was honored to be a part of the gatherings in both Portland and Spokane.
There are many ways to give back to your credit profession through NACM. I encourage anyone who has interest in serving on a committee or board to make contact with me (jwalsh@nacmcs.org). It truly is a growing experience and I enjoy watching members make life-long career connections with others in their chosen profession. Be sure to attend the NACM Northwest Foundation’s BBQ Bluegrass event in Portland next month. The night looks to be packed with food, music, and fun activities! Come out and make some new connections in credit while supporting the Foundation.
