Doesnt a national organization serve a valuable purpose for a non-profit organization such as the local Affiliates?
Yes, it does. This Affiliates find value in the network of organizations that are in similar businesses and have similar members. We learn from each other and can speak with one united voice. One value that we have not enjoyed through our affiliation with NACM is that of marketing and sales support for the Affiliates. Also, we have not yet found ways to work together to reduce costs and to improve services. These are among the fundamental purposes of the proposed new national “confederation of affiliates” to be known as Business Credit Management Association, or BCMA.
