The pervious issue of Collection Advisor saw the presentation of the 25 Most Influential Women in Collections. Anyone who as ever attempted to assemble a list of superlatives knows it is a daunting task that can never truly be complete. In light of such a truth, Collection Advisor would like to present an addition to the Most Influential Women in Collections.

The following women, like those mentioned in the pervious issue, work toward the perfection of debt collection, improvement of the industry and the promotion of compliance education. Evidence of this ongoing influence can be found in collection agencies, law firms, presentations at trade shows and their proactive efforts in trade organizations. The following Most Influential Women in Collections answer the question, “What opportunities has collections offered you?”
