Nothing like an organization who can foresee needs of the credit professional and work to develop relevant applications that best support our careers! I’m thrilled with the
most recent rollout of the Business Credit App (available to any individual within a member company) that gives the power to keep up on reading pertinent credit information in a digital format. We all know the burden of attempting to keep up with a heavy workload coupled with the desire to have personal professional development to support our chosen profession. This App allows the flexibility to read and review when and where you have time. A member can digitally read the Business Credit magazine, review the weekly eNews, keep up with the NACM blog, and even quickly review economic updates as they pertain to business credit. The App is available on the Apple Store or Google Play Store and can be downloaded for free, and utilized with a member log-in. I LOVE this new App!
The Western Region Credit Conference is in October and I’m impressed with the line-up of classes available to attendees. This is an excellent opportunity to network with other professionals in the credit world while attending education specifically carved out to help you excel at your job. Here is a challenge for the NACM Commercial Services membership: Register to attend the 2018 Western Region Conference and you will automatically be entered into a chance to win a free registration to the 2019 Western Region Conference (NACM Commercial Services will be hosting). It’s a chance to Win-Win! Check out the conference at www.nacmwrcc.org.
Have you seen the awesome line up of educational opportunities available? We are creating a diverse list of topics to help in developing skill sets in many different capacities. Webinar capabilities are likely available where you don’t even have to ask for time away from the office. Stay sharp in negotiations and conflict resolution, fine-tune your credit application, learn about real-life financial crimes, or stay compliant with reseller permits – these topics are all available and more. See www.nacmcommercialservices.org/events/.
Lastly, who doesn’t want to be rewarded with some fun in your life?! Night of the Aloha is coming this October in Portland. This is a Foundation dinner event with networking and celebration of the credit profession. And what’s more? You can enter a raffle for a chance to win a trip to Hawaii! Tickets are on sale now, so don’t miss out on a chance to reward yourself for all your hard work. In September, the Foundation is hosting its annual golf tournament at the beautiful Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course. If you have not attended you are missing out on an extremely low golf fee at a course noted in Golf Digest as, “A resort where you aren’t just pampered, you’re spoiled. It’s not just an escape, it’s an experience…”. Come join the fun! Contact either skelly@nacmcs.org or alevine@nacmcs.org with any questions or RSVPs.
I urge you to be involved, stay connected, and engage in the activities or education NACM is providing for you.
