As most of you know, I recently
returned from the USOBA Conference (United States Organizations for
Bankruptcy Alternatives) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I always look
forward to these sorts of events because it gives everyone a chance
to stay up-to-date on the latest laws and more importantly, network!
Next month I'll be returning to Fort Lauderdale to attend the 2008 TASC Workshop (The Association of Settlement
Companies). TASC's goals are to promote good practice in the
debt settlement industry, protect the interests of consumers and
debtors, and to lobby on behalf of debt settlement companies on the
federal and state level. The workshop agenda is packed with several
interesting break-out sessions and guest speakers.
The
following topics will be covered:
- "Learn How to Maximize Settlement with Creditors"
- "FTC & State Compliance Requirements"
- "Update on Florida Debt Settlement Law and Enforcement"
- "Public Relations 101"
There is no doubt these
sessions will be informative but, like I said, the reason I enjoy
these gatherings so much is because it gives everyone a chance to
share information, experiences and opinions. Even though I'm not
sure it's ideal that so many of these conferences take place in
Florida during the hottest months of the year, I can't complain
about the 5-star hotel this one is being held at. If you haven't yet
registered for the TASC workshop, I highly recommend you do. I hope
to see you there.
