CLLA EASTERN REGION CONFERENCE

Foundations for a Modern Practice:

BACK TO BASICS

AND BEYOND

Welcome!

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to New York City for the annual CLLA Eastern Region Conference! We are excited about bringing together attorneys, agencies, law lists, collection professionals, and industry leaders for what promises to be an engaging, informative, and memorable event.

This year’s conference is designed to provide valuable opportunities to learn, connect, and grow professionally. Our educational sessions will feature timely topics, practical insights, and expert speakers, giving attendees the chance to earn credits while staying current on the latest developments affecting our industry.

Of course, some of the best conference moments happen outside the meeting room. We have planned several exciting networking opportunities to help attendees strengthen existing relationships and build new ones. One of the highlights of this year’s conference will be our pizza-making experience, a fun and interactive way to kick things off. Whether you’re perfecting your dough-tossing technique or simply enjoying great conversation, it will be a unique opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, exchange ideas, share a few laughs, and enjoy some delicious pizza along the way.

The networking continues throughout the conference with a deluxe breakfast to start the day, a special luncheon where I will have the honor of passing the torch to our incoming Chair, Valerie Ingold, and a celebration recognizing this year’s Warren Pinchuck Service Award recipient.

The strength of our industry lies in the relationships we build and the knowledge we share. Whether you are a long-time member or attending your first CLLA event, I encourage you to take full advantage of everything the conference has to offer. Your participation helps create a meaningful experience for all attendees and contributes to the continued success of the CLLA.

Again, welcome to New York! I am confident you will leave with valuable insights, new connections, and renewed enthusiasm for the important work we do together.

Eastern Region Chair, 2025-2026
