OMG, Change is HARD!!!

Change is SO hard! After 20 years at the Wilcrest building, it’s time for NACM Gulf States to move on!

We are, of course, VERY excited that the building sold so fast and at full asking price, but if you’ve ever moved, well, then you know! The Only Constant is Change is our theme this year. It should have been our theme for the last 10 years, as technology, mergers, acquisitions, steep and deep changes in the economy affected your business and, consequently, ours. We are changing, as are you, because we simply have to. Industry groups are having to change to another information system. Hard. Credit struggles more and more with smaller staff and heavier customer loads. Hard. Hurricane Harvey hurt tons of businesses, who have to find a way to recover. Hard. Change, or die. That sounds so gloomy, doesn’t it?

Without change we’d still be dying of polio and not have Dick Tracy watches (Apple watches!) on our wrists. We’d still think butter is bad for us and oleo is good. We’d still be riding horses instead of looking at self-driving cars! None of those changes were easy! We’ll keep changing, just as you are. And it WILL be better! Hang in there.

P.S.Packing up 20 years is hard. And not fun.

Best Regards, Kathleen E Quill, CAE, CBA President & COO

Please note: The NACM Gulf States Board of Directors voted unanimously, at its October 2016 meeting, on a membership dues increase effective January 1, 2017. As your membership renews, you will see an annual increase $16 for grandfathered members, $20 for all regular members and $11 for limited service members.

If you have any questions at all, one of us will be very happy to discuss this change with you.

Are you considering buying credit reports, credit reporting products, decisioning systems (either integrated or a plug in)?

• We are guaranteed by our partners that you can and should buy any major credit report (including contracts) or decisioning for the same or less from your NACM!

Why buy your credit reports through NACM Gulf States?

1. Your Association is the only provider looking after YOUR interests, not our need to sell a specific product that may or may not be the one that suits you best.
2. You're an owner here.  Where else can you say that?!
3. Often you need a mix of products, which no single provider can offer....but we can and we do.  Don't have single provider contracts scattered around; we'll consolidate.
4. We GUARANTEE that you won't pay more than you would as a direct customer (and, seriously, most members pay far less because of our combined buying power).  
5. Plus, you have our entire staff at your disposal to help you if a problem or question arises.  

Come home to NACM Gulf States for your credit product and system needs.  This is your community, and you already figured out (because you're smart like that) that dues alone won't pay the bills. Just ask us to help: 281.228.6100
