Industry Groups
Ever wonder how your customers are paying other companies?
Join an industry group through NACM Oregon and
find out! These groups give you the unique opportunity to talk
with other credit professionals in your industry and base your
credit decisions on current and accurate information. You can
share your payment experience of common customers, and
exchange technical and educational information concerning your industry. You’ll be better informed and better protected. Legal Protection
The National Association of Credit Management and its affiliated associations sponsor and operate more than 1,000 groups across the nation. We follow national guidelines for conducting industry group meetings and preventing the violation of antitrust rules. An NACM Oregon staff representative attends each meeting of our sponsored industry groups to ensure these guidelines are correctly followed.
