Director, National Institute on Consumer Credit Management Marquette University, College of Business Administration Dear Financial Services Executive The 62nd session of the National Institute on Consumer Credit Management (NICCM) will meet June 3-8, 2012, at Marquette University. Established in 1950 by Marquette University and the Wisconsin Consumer Finance Association, NICCM is supported by the College of Business Administration of Marquette University and the AFSA Education Foundation. As Director of the Institute, I am proud of my association with the consumer finance industry leaders who have worked with me and served on the NICCM board. What has struck me most is that many who attended NICCM in their early years of development as managers and executives the attendees of the 1970s and 1980s are now in the highest positions of leadership both with their firms and within the industry. NICCM provides high-quality training for branch managers and team leaders who are on the fast track in their career development. Managers who complete the two-year program at Marquette University will certainly be among the industry leaders as we move further into the 21st century. The NICCM program provides a valuable and enriching experience in layered modules of learning. Management I, the first year, provides a sound basic knowledge for financial managers, and Management II, the second year, builds on this with applications and higher-level skills. NICCM: Benefits newly promoted supervisors; Expands the horizons and skills of your most promising managers; Prepares participants to advance to the next level within your organization; and Broadens knowledge and understanding of the consumer finance industry. As you know, it is critical for the growth and survival of your company that the next generation of leadership be identified and trained to take on the responsibilities of leadership. For more than 60 years, NICCM has been a key component in the development of these leaders, and continues to provide cutting-edge training for high potential managers. Take the time now to select your high potential leaders for the 2012 program and provide them with the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and sharpen their skills for the challenges that lie ahead in this ever-changing industry.
