The unit elected the following new GLCCA board members: Jessica Albrecht, Range Credit Bureau Inc.; Luke Check, Americollect Inc.; Justin Penn, Hinshaw & Culbertson, LLP; and Tom Oldani, Arbor Professional Solutions Inc.

There were several compliance panels held during the conference discussing data privacy, safeguards as well as the ever-popular attorney panel with Patrick Newman of Bassford Remele, Scott Renner of Velo Law Office and David Schultz of Hinshaw & Culbertson.

In addition, Megan Bryant of Paycourt and Jose Giron of State Collection Service discussed “Accepting Operational Mediocrity” within your business.
