PURPOSE AND MISSION STATEMENT

The Western Collectors Conference (WCC) is an association of third party debt collection service businesses. Members handle the collection of past due accounts receivable for a wide variety of credit grantors.

WCC publishes a quarterly newsletter to keep members informed of trends and happenings in the collection business, with emphasis on the thirteen western states.

WCC also holds an annual convention at sites selected to combine business activities with opportunities to get acquainted with colleagues from a wide geographical area.

WCC members also exchange ideas and advice between meetings as business acquaintances become personal friends willing to help each other.

The principle mission of WCC is to help medium and small sized collection services stay abreast of changing market and operating conditions so that every member will continue to provide the finest possible collection service for their clients and communities.

Adopted at WCC's 49^th Annual Meeting on February 13, 1999.
