We offer educational programs that provide credit professionals with a series of seminars, workshops, and classes to better understand credit granting models, legal credit, collection topics, and other issues of importance.
Professional certification that is affordable and meaningful is offered. Work experience counts in our certification programs.
We host an annual conference since 2000. The Southwest Business & Construction Credit Conference offers over 28 educational sessions featuring lien and bond information from the western states, credit management as well as personal and professional development sessions.

James F. “Jim” Sullivan was the long time Director of Credit of The O’Malley Lumber Company, and a dedicated member of this organization since 1966. Jim was instrumental in helping to bring about the basis for Arizona’s present day lien notice statutes. In addition, he was a mentor to many, and served a number of community and charitable organizations with humility. Jim left a legacy of service which we honor with this award in his name and his memory.
