Every day, members turn to NACM Southern Valley for the essential resources needed to stay current in the profession. Membership is a prerequisite to Industry Credit Group participation.

Benefits of membership include:

NACM’s eNews Weekly Update provides targeted and timely news briefs of interest to the credit and financial community. You’ll receive eNews each Thursday by email (except holidays) as a benefit of your membership.

If you’re interested in global news, be sure to subscribe to our Week in Review electronic newsletter, delivered to your inbox most Monday mornings (except holidays) and participate in our monthly global Credit & Collections survey.

You can also subscribe to receive Credit Essentials, our once-a-month electronic newsletter highlighting special events and offerings.

We wrap up every week by releasing a new podcast, Extra Credit. Curated by NACM’s editorial team, our short 10 minute podcasts share conversations with members as they discuss their challenges and share their solutions each week.

Business Credit magazine, another benefit of membership, keeps you up-to-date and informed on the credit issues that affect the way you do business. Published and mailed to you nine times a year, Business Credit will keep you on the cutting edge of trends, news and important legislative issues. You can download the Business Credit app from the Google Play and Apple stores to read Business Credit on your phone or tablet. You can also read issues of Business Credit in flip-through format on the NACM website.

Created from a monthly survey of credit and collection professionals, NACM’s Credit Managers’ Index (CMI) tracks favorable and unfavorable factors in the monthly business cycle. The CMI is a benchmarking and forecasting tool that has gained rapid acceptance among the business and financial community as an economic indicator to both watch and report on. Participants earn one Roadmap Point for participating in 10 surveys in a 12-month period.

While there may be times when you want a reference book on hand, the luxury of using a simple web-based search function to immediately bring up relevant information is a credit professional’s dream come true. Using NACM’s Knowledge Center, you can download forms, search laws and topics, and cross-reference data in NACM’s best-selling publications: Manual of Credit and Commercial Laws, Principles of Business Credit, The Art & Science of Financial Risk Analysis, Credit Management: Principles and Practices, Business Credit magazine, and more.

NACM hosts quarterly complimentary book club meetings or virtual Author Chats. We invite the book author to talk with our members, discussing their books—mostly leadership topics. You’ll need to buy and read the book, and the rest is an interesting learning journey!
