CollectionIndustry.com Presents Young Guns 2005:

A Salute to Future Leaders of the Industry

Bethesda, MD: March 7, 2005 – CollectionIndustry.com™, the leading news and information source for professionals in the credit and collections industry, has launched a new program to identify and highlight the careers of young leaders in collections who will guide industry thinking in the new millennium.

The editors of CollectionIndustry.com asked their 31,000 registered users to submit nominees for the Young Guns award -- up-and-comers whose careers thus far had epitomized the virtues of hard work, aggressive goal setting and forward-thinking.  The response was overwhelming. The staff received submissions from all over the industry and all over the world. In the end, 10 individuals were selected to serve as CollectionIndustry.com’s inaugural class of Young Guns.

The Young Guns of 2005 represent a very interesting cross-section of the accounts receivable management industry. Among the winners there are collection agency owners, collection directors at major creditors, and debt purchasers. Some of our Young Guns are focused on technical improvements in collections such as scoring and process control. Others have made it a mission to raise the public relations level of the industry.

Over the coming weeks, CollectionIndustry.com will be highlighting each individual Young Gun in special section on the site. For an in-depth look at each of these extraordinary professionals, please visit http://www.collectionindustry.com/leaders/young_guns.
