ANOTHER INTERSECT THIS FALL
EXCEPT THIS TIME THE FOCUS IS ON MORTGAGE SERVICING OPERATIONS AND THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS. This Winter we held the industry’s first day-long summit focused solely on the intersection of mortgage servicing and consumer bankruptcies. This Fall, we’re returning to Dallas for yet another Intersect event, this time focused on the intersection of mortgage servicing operations and the foreclosure process. Get your plans organized early, as we expect to grow attendance from the 120+ and nearly 80 clients who attended Intersect BK. Rooms will be maxed out and seating will be limited so mark your calendars, book your flights, register and reserve rooms early! You won’t won’t want to miss Intersect FC this Fall!

SOMETHING NEW AT ALFN.ORG
INTRODUCING GUEST BLOGGERS WITH MONTHLY COLUMNS Are you a great writer with an interest in tracking federal legislation or regulatory developments? Or an associate member eager to discuss operational and other business management functions? Then volunteer as a guest blogger and help us develop new and fresh content on the blog at ALFN.org. We’re opening two regular volunteer guest blogger spots for ALFN.org in 2017. You’ll be responsible for developing and maintaining your monthly column. One spot is reserved for an attorney/trustee member and the other is reserved for an associate member of the ALFN. Let us know if you’re interested in the gig by emailing us at ANGLE@ALFN.org.

VOLUNTEER, VOLUNTEER, VOLUNTEER!
WONDER HOW SOME OF THESE FOLKS GET ON PANELS OR NAB FEATURES IN THE ANGLE OR ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE THE MARKETING EDGE? Volunteering is the cornerstone of maximizing your membership value. Here’s a helpful hint: assign relationship managers for the ALFN and do it strategically. Make sure you have at least one person in Women in Legal Leadership, another in the ALFN’s award-winning young professionals network, JPEG, and more spread across other practice groups like Bankruptcy and Marketing. Does everyone get ALFN emails? If not, send us a complete list and we’ll make sure all the right people on your team are getting updates and reminders on speaking, sponsoring and other ways to contribute and max out your exposure through the assocation’s events, publications, programs and services. If your membership covers multiple states, then make sure at least one person from each state has a committed volunteer spot so you’re represented from sea to shining sea! IS YOUR CONTACT INFO UPDATED? IS YOUR ONLINE DIRECTORY LISTING OPTIMIZED? DO YOU KNOW WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR ALFN.ORG ACCOUNT? WELL, LOG IN!
