Thank you!
Thank you to our Presenters, Sponsors, and Attendees at the recent 2025 CLLA Eastern Region Collections Conference! Held on November 5-6, 2025, at the beautiful Manhattan Penthouse in New York, your participation in this event was invaluable.
Under the theme “Beyond The Horizon: Preparing for the Future of the Collection Industry,” we addressed pressing issues impacting Creditors’ Rights Attorneys, Commercial Collection Agencies, and Law Lists. Together, we engaged in meaningful discussions about the future of our industry, including how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping collections, the impact of legislative trends (like the Rosenthal Effect), and insights into current bankruptcy issues from the bench (Behind the Gavel).
The conference also offered wonderful networking opportunities, fostering connections essential for collaboration and professional growth. Our luncheon program consisted of the presentation of the 2025 Warren Pinchuck Volunteer Service Award to Robert Ash, recognition to our sponsors, a message from CLLA President Richard Payne, the traditional passing of the gavel from William Thrush to newly installed Region Chair, Lauri Hudson and finally Lauri swearing in the 2025-2026 Eastern Region Officers and Executive Council Members.
We encourage you to stay engaged with CLLA, including upcoming events and resources designed to navigate the evolving challenges and opportunities within the creditors’ rights and commercial collection sec

Update on Warren Pinchuck from Wanda Borges
“Warren was released from Belleview last night (11/6) about 8 p.m. They took an MRI and (as Warren said) a ton of other tests. He now has 20 stitches on his cheek. He was seen by 2 plastic surgeons. The stitches are dissolvable so he may have a bit of a scar but not terrible. He was eating a big breakfast at his hotel when we spoke and then he will be going to the airport to fly home. He said he is taking the train to the plane, and I suggested if he was unsteady, he should spend the money on an Uber, but he insists he is fine and can take the train.
He said he was sorry he ruined our meeting. Of course, I told him that was silly – that he didn’t ruin the meeting but that we were all very worried for him.”
