| Credit Professionals of New Mexico Las Madrugadoras District 7 & 9 “Riding into the Future with CPI” |
Credit Professionals International (CPI) is a professional association established in 1937 for individuals
working in the credit industry. Our focus is on strengthening the industry and the individual through
education and interaction. We also promote consumer education in the community in partnership with
our sponsoring companies and through the Credit Education Resources Foundation. We support the
Foundation and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Membership is open to anyone
employed with or retired from entities providing and/or utilizing financial, credit or collection services.
CPI's VISION is to be an innovative, member-driven association making positive contributions with the
credit industry. CPI's MISSION is to support the members of Credit Professionals International by
providing opportunities for networking, career development and community involvement.
We hold regular scheduled meetings for networking and educational purposes. Please join us for our
breakfast meetings at Fiestas Restaurant (4400 Carlisle NE, Albuquerque -Corner of Carlisle &
Montgomery) at 7:00 am on the following dates:
November 5, 2008 – Board Meeting
November 12, 2008 – Regular Meeting

Efficiency
December 3, 2008 – Board Meeting
December 10, 2008 – Christmas Event, Weck’s at Louisiana and Montgomery at 6:45 am
Our Objective is:
-To develop a closer contact among credit persons;
-To maintain a friendly relationship between credit departments of various
firms and businesses represented by our members to stimulate
education in the practice and procedure of credit;
-To encourage and promote the formation of similar educational
organizations.
Scholarship Fund:
Credit abuse continues to haunt many businesses, small and large alike. From the individuals who
simply charge more than their ability to repay and eventually declare bankruptcy to those whose outright
refusal to meet their obligations leaving the business to somehow cover the loss, these actions touch all
our lives in one way or another. This abuse of credit, especially among younger people, may be traced
directly to lack of education in its proper use. Credit Professionals International continues to make
credit education and social services its priority and mission. Informed citizens run less risk of falling prey
to abusing any credit that is offered to them. Our members volunteer their time to hand out brochures to
schools and other interested community groups. We also have volunteers that speak on a variety of civic
occasions about the problem and its prevention.
One of a number of educational events that we sponsor is the CPI Credit Professional Scholarship
Fund. This Scholarship is awarded annually to CNM. Our organization is seeking the support of the
community and community business to help us make this a worthwhile endeavor and assist us in
reaching out to some worthy individual seeking to make a career in the credit industry.
Welfare Committee:
The Welfare Committee chooses suitable projects for the association. Currently, the association raises
funds for three community organizations: Share Your Care, Roadrunner Food Bank and Special
Olympics. .
