Thank you for your continued membership with ACA International, the accounts receivable management industry association that is focused on helping members succeed!
As business leaders in the ARM industry, I’m sure you are aware that the cost of doing business each year continues to rise. This past year the ACA Board of Directors voted to automatically adjust dues annually according to the CPI index so that the Association can keep up with the cost of doing business. This decision was not made lightly.
It was also important to the Board of Directors that members be able to plan for smaller annual adjustments rather than accommodate large periodic adjustments. The automatic adjustment will begin with your 2020 dues and represents a 1.7% increase per the CPI index for all urban consumers as of the end of August 2019.
While membership in ACA International has always been important, next year your connection with your professional association will continue to be increasingly valuable given the expected revisions to the proposed debt collection rules by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. ACA International will work with you to understand the new rules and their potential impact on your business.
ACA membership not only helps you remain current on laws and regulations, but it also affords you education, networking and strategic business opportunities vital to growing your career and your company. As the end of the year approaches, I encourage you to renew your ACA membership so that there’s no lapse in your ability to access your valuable member resources. Member renewal invoices were mailed Nov. 1 and are available when you log in to ACA's website.
As an added value for renewing your membership in 2020, ACA International will provide one complimentary FDCPA Essentials for the ARM Industry Web Course and one Essential Collection Skills and Techniques Web Course, per tier (i.e., tier 1 receives two complimentary web courses (one of each type); tier 5 receives 10 complimentary web courses (five of each type). These courses are among ACA’s most valuable training resources.
