ICA and its place in the association world: embracing the future through change
Article Abstract:
The International Credit Assn (ICA) and the more than 100,000 other associations that serve particular constituent groups offer social and economic benefits not only to its members but to every member of society. They help set professional, performance, safety and ethical standards; educate the public about products and services; develop and disseminate information that is used by such groups as regulators, policymakers, researchers and consumer groups; ensure political representation of private interests; and mobilize huge amounts of volunteer labor. For their members, associations help meet needs that cannot be met satisfactorily through individual action, communicate important information, and form a collective presence in the marketplace. The future plans of the ICA are discussed.

Making a difference: ICA locals embrace opportunity by participating in NCEW
Article Abstract:
Many young people are not prepared to properly manage their credit. Therefore, individuals should be taught early in life about personal financial management. The International Credit Assn. (ICA) strives to do just that with its National Credit Education Week (NCEW), which falls on Apr. 20 to 26, 1997. One event to be held during the NCEW is the creative writing contest to be participated in by high school students. This provides them an opportunity to assess their futures. In celebration of the NCEW, local ICA associations and the credit community in general will offer programs and materials, hold special events and credit fairs, put posters at businesses and public buildings, and stage presentations at school.
