NACM and eCredit Announce Call for Entries for First Annual 'Enabling Excellence' Awards in Credit and Collections

COLUMBIA, MD and DEDHAM, MA – eCredit, a leading provider of online software for credit and collections professionals, today announced a call for entries for the first annual “Enabling Excellence” Awards, co-sponsored by The National Association of Credit Management (NACM). Recognizing that credit and collections professionals are a key strategic driver in corporate performance, these national awards will acknowledge and honor those who have gone above and beyond managing daily credit and collections activities to elevate the role these processes play in an organization’s operational success.

While individuals are encouraged to nominate their peers for improvement in any area of credit and collections, a series of sample categories have also been developed. These areas of improvement include the following:

• Achievement of improved performance metrics, possibly including reduced portfolio risk, increased customer satisfaction or lowered DSO.
• Implementation of a successful credit policy.
• Facilitation of increased interdepartmental communication and interaction.

Nomination forms are currently available at http://www.ecredit.com/awards, and may be submitted through May 16, 2005. Judging by NACM and eCredit experts will be based on both qualitative and quantitative measurements attained, and will take place over the following month. Finalists and winners will be announced at NACM’s 109th Credit Congress and Exposition, held this year from June 12-15 in New Orleans. Prizes for finalists and winners include an expenses-paid trip to Credit Congress 2006, a plasma TV, and an mp3 player.
