Creditor Compromises and Business Debt Hibernation
Communication from the President to Members
Dear Members
We hope this communication finds you safe and well and enjoying your new-found freedoms under Level 2. It has certainly been an unprecedented past two months of uncertainty and change and no doubt there is more uncertainty and change ahead of us. The practical hit to the economy from the Covid-19 crisis is very real and no doubt being felt acutely by all of you and your colleagues. For many businesses the hardest times still lay ahead and we anticipate those people who are involved in the Credit and Finance industry will be very busy. With cashflow for many businesses having dried up overnight the effective recovery of money and payment of creditors is more important than ever.
The Board have been looking at what role the New Zealand Credit and Finance Institute has to play in this moving forward. The prohibition on events and social gatherings has upended one of the main sources of the Institute’s revenue over the past few months, and for the foreseeable future. so much consideration has been given to other options to ensure that the Institute is providing a valuable service to its members.
With that in mind we have prepared a survey which we would greatly appreciate that all members complete. We will share the summary results with you in an upcoming communication. The Board needs to understand what it is that members want so that direction can be given set to prioritise those things. It is then the role of the Regional Committees, in conjunction with Owen Goodwin as Executive Director, to implement that direction. A lot of people volunteer their time to try and make the Institute operate.
In addition to the survey, if you have ideas now that you would like to see the Institute pursuing speak to your local committee members so that they can see what can be done to make it happen.
We appreciate that this is an uncertain time for everyone and value your membership and support of the Institute and look forward to hearing your ideas.
Regards
Michael Wright
National President
