Last year, more than 150 recovery specialists from around the country converged on Dallas to join together for the first North American Repossessors Summit hosted by the ARA.
It was refreshing to see recovery specialists from around the country put aside their differences in association affiliations (whether they were associated with an association or not). The first annual summit was a place for recovery agents to come together, learn from each other, and voice our concerns about the issues we deal with on a daily basis. The summit is the perfect place for recovery agents to address concerns and develop strategies to address our issues.
If you are a recovery specialist and wonder how some of us handle different situations, then you need to attend the 2010 Summit. I have been in this business for 35 years and I thought I had seen and heard it all. The summit made me realize I have so much more to learn. In this day and age, the recovery industry has so many variables we didn’t have when I first started. We need to have an open mind and share what we know.
