ICEL Chair Message
The Agony and the Ecstasy
by Melissa Mickelsen, CCE, Geneva Rock Product, Inc.
On August 12th, I received the news that I had finally become a CCE. I was thrilled and so relieved! This was the joyful end of a journey that has encompassed over four years. I had finally done it!
Like so many others, I never expected to work in the credit field. In fact, I received my college degree in horticulture. It would be hard to find two things more unrelated than credit and gardening! But, once I found myself in the credit field and it looked like it was going to be a long-term fit, I started looking into the designation program because I knew I had a lot to learn . . .

Fall: A Time to Change and Re-energize
by Lisa Keller, CBA, Peck Striping
I like many people, at least attempt the ever popular New Years' Resolution. I will be the first to admit that some years are more serious than others - this year I resolved to get taller. Unfortunately, genetics has worked against me in this, and I am now the proud shortest member of my household. However, thanks to some extra diligence and time spent, I am feeling quite a bit "taller" in my job.
Recently, being in the construction industry, we have become extremely busy, and I find myself falling into a pattern that was not going to help me produce the best results. It was shortly after this began that I started seeing NACM flyers for back-to-school promotions and something just clicked . . . Read full article
ICEL Recap
In The Trenches
by Erik Wright, CBF, Spectrum Engineers, Inc.
Speakers: Jo Anne Mills, CBF, Deseret Book; Ryan Palmer, CBA, ProBuild; Mark Jones, Geneva Rock
In our August ICEL meeting we found ourselves deep "In the Trenches" with three outstanding credit professionals. Each brought a unique insight from being on the front-line keeping us enthralled with their experiences and lessons learned.
Jo Anne Mills found that after 15 years working in accounting dotting "i's" and crossing "T's" that when she got into the trenches of credit matters, procedures weren't as clear and meticulous. Moving to the front-line proved to be a precarious place where 'attacks' from customers can seem personal. . . Read full article
