President's Message

I have just returned from attending the National Credit Congress in Orlando, Florida. I was very proud to represent the CFDD Portland Chapter at Credit Congress and want to thank the membership for making my trip possible. The educational topics and speakers were outstanding. Some of the sessions I attended were on payment and financing methods for international transactions that also discussed programs available through EXIMbank, tips on how to get paid faster through international letters of credit, how personality affects our ability to persuade others, handling conflict, and an excellent session on handling difficult credit situations.   There were also excellent speakers at the General Session and the NACM Annual Meeting. Monday’s General Session speaker was Dr. John Izzo, the author of The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die, who discussed methods to create positive work environments and provide a sense of purpose even in difficult times. The speaker at Tuesday’s Super Session and Annual Business Meeting was Steven Little, the author of The Milkshake Moment: Overcoming Stupid Systems, Pointless Policies, and Muddled Management to Realize Real Growth, who provided an interesting and humorous look at how to overcome obstacles to growth.

During Credit Congress, I also attended the CFDD National Luncheon, where I was proud to accept on behalf of our chapter the Class A Publicity Award! I was also honored to be installed as the CFDD Area Director for Oregon.

If you have never attended a National Credit Congress, I would strongly recommend attending next year’s conference in Las Vegas.

We are still looking to fill committees for the 2009-2010 year. Please consider lending your talents to your fellow CFDD members. Service on a CFDD committee doesn’t take much time, you can get to know other members, participate in the growth of our chapter, gain leadership skills, help others with their continuing education goals, and earn NACM Career Roadmap points. There is something for everyone and there are many benefits to you and to other members of our chapter.

This is an excellent time to spread the word about CFDD to others that are involved in credit. We will cover the meeting and meal cost for a guest that attends a CFDD Portland Chapter meeting for the first time. Just let the Calling Committee know if you will have a guest attend a CFDD Portland Chapter meeting.

On a personal note, I want to thank the chapter for the extremely beautiful flowers and all the cards and condolences I received when my father recently passed away.  Your support and encouragement means much to me.

      Regards,

      Diane Snyder, CCE, CICP
