NACM's renowned publication Business Credit Magazine published a short article about the anscers Community in the most recent November/December 2003 edition. A reprint of the article appears below. CMA thanks all Community Members who have supported this credit forum and helped build an online community that is unique in the NACM Affiliate Network. Thanks also to Michael Dennis for submitting the article to Business Credit Magazine for consideration.

"CMA Business Credit Services Online Community Bulletin Board

One of the NACM's local affiliates, CMA Business Credit Services, has developed an online 'Community Bulletin Board' for credit professionals. While other entities sponsor chat rooms and other online forums, CMA has taken this concept much further. In the two years that the Bulletin Board has been active, more than 450 people have signed up, and there have been more than 1100 posts. Posts can be made into any one of a dozen categories, including:

International Credit and Exporting
Credit Law
Debt Collection
Credit Policies and Procedures
Bankruptcy
Suggestions, and
Ask the Credit Community

There are no fees, and anyone, anywhere is welcome to join. Moderators, who are either outside experts in a specific field or employees of CMA have helped foster an online environment in which participants receive detailed and specific answers to their questions. Another unique aspect of this bulletin board is the amount of time and effort that goes into the responses. For example, in response to a question submitted recently about export credit policies, there were ten responses totaling 2200 words. The web site link is: http://www.anscers.com/anscers/community.htm"¹
