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.
