Marian Sangalang, Vice President of The Bureaus, Inc. in Northbrook, Illinois, will serve as Board President. “I look forward to continuing the tremendous momentum that the association has benefited in recent years,” Sangalang stated. “Our commitment to our membership of debt buyers, collection agencies, law firms, brokers, originating creditors, affiliates and international members to deliver increased networking opportunities and further champion the industry in state and federal legislation.”

In the year to come, Sangalang seeks to work on further cooperation with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and state legislatures as a means to continue the productive discussions that benefit all members, coupled with the invitations RMAI has recently received to share those thoughts.

Other association goals for 2019 include continued outreach and cooperation with other trade associations, leading to not just unified and cooperative efforts on state and federal issues, but also networking and business opportunities for members.

Revisions to the Certification Program will continue in the coming year, allowing for more streamlined and cost-effective measures to assist member companies of all sizes and further expansion into international opportunities.

“2018 has been a fantastic year. We have seen tremendous growth in our 2019 annual conference and have implemented new programs and initiatives to increase membership and provide additional value to our membership,” said Jan Stieger, RMAI Executive Director. “Our members can look forward to more opportunities for growth, as well as continued advocacy for regulation and legislation that is fair, balanced, and consistent.”
