Presidents report

I hope everyone has had a good EOFY close. This year would have seen us really adapt to a lot of different changes in market conditions, laws and people management. As always, the AICM has had a lot of great content out there to share other professionals’ thoughts and what they are experiencing and seeing. If you haven’t already, I would encourage you to watch the recordings on the AICM website and don’t forget to let us know so we can update your CCE points! Forms are available on the website otherwise, don’t hesitate to reach out to your councillors or Head Office team for more info.

Although we have had a very challenging few months with many states opening up, we have endeavoured to ensure that we continue to provide members with as many opportunities as possible. One of these is the Young Credit professional of the Year award (YCP). I am pleased to announce that we have had a few ambitious professionals step up to the challenge. Good luck to you all in the judging process.

We will support our winner with a ceremony, we are just unsure what this will look like during the current climate, so please keep an eye on your emails for more details. I would also like to thank the YCP councillor for organising this and making the phone calls, and to our judges for agreeing to take some time out to be a part of identifying the QLD YCP.

Another update has to do with the Conference, WINC and Pinnacles, we are currently working with head office to see what we can deliver and how it will be delivered, as everyone can imagine it is challenging due to the ever evolving nature of our response to COVID. Rest assured, we see value in recognising, promoting, educating and celebrating our members and will aim to do so in coming months. Keep an eye out.

Again, as what seems like the longest year flips over into the 2nd half, the council looks forward to hearing

from and keep supporting our member base in these very turbulent times. If you have anything you need from us, please reach out. I wanted to thank all of our members who contribute to this amazing community of professionals and to our event supporters, state and national sponsors. We look forward to working together into the foreseeable future.

I had way too much fun looking back at the old AICM magazines, the photos, the articles! So much has changed and yet some still the same, we are still discussing policies, ways to improve collections and how to better utilise technology.

As most of the country has been in isolation these last few months, we haven’t been able to get out and about as we usually would networking and catching up with our credit friends. Instead we’ve been seeing each other through Zoom meetings, sometimes in our pyjamas or activewear, with a ‘business type jacket over the top’ or was that just me?

I wanted to share some articles and photos that I found interesting and still relatable today.

At the state seminar in 1985 on Straddie, Mr Earl Bailey made a comment which I think rings true today and especially during this time when you need to be able to motivate your teams from a distance, “Without selfmotivation, there is no point in attempting to motivate others, or even think that it is possible to succeed” – Roger Masamvu MICM Queensland Division President
