PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS AND ASSOCIATIONS

As an industry leader, we maintain memberships with a multitude of industry associations enabling NRA and its collection teams to stay abreast of updates and regulations that affect collection practices.  This critical knowledge can then be relayed to your personnel, ensuring your programs are always current and compliant.  NRA is an active member of the Association of Credit and Collection Professionals (ACA International) as well as with the following organizations and trade associations.

ACA

ACA's primary role is to help our member agencies prepare for, and stay ahead of, industry and environmental changes. We're here to provide the tools that collection businesses need today and in the future, and we're successful because we use innovation and foresight to meet our member agencies' needs.

The American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM) is the premier professional organization in healthcare administrative management.

AAHAM was founded in 1968 as the American Guild of Patient Account Management. Initially formed to serve the interests of hospital patient account managers, AAHAM has evolved into a national membership association that represents a broad-based constituency of healthcare professionals.

Professional development of its members is one of the primary goals of the association. Publications, conferences and seminars, benchmarking, professional certification and networking offer numerous opportunities for increasing the skills and knowledge that are necessary to function effectively in today’s health care environment.

AAHAM actively represents the interests of healthcare administrative management professionals through a comprehensive program of legislative and regulatory monitoring and its participation in industry groups such as ANSI, DISA and NUBC. AAHAM is a major force in shaping the future of health care administrative management.

 

Harrisburg Regional

The Harrisburg Regional Chamber was initially known as the Harrisburg Board of Trade and was founded in the late 1800s. In 1912, it was decided that the organization should be formally incorporated as a Chamber of Commerce and by 1913 that official designation was given to the organization. The interesting fact, however, is that though the name has changed, the concept and objectives have remained constant throughout this entire history.

Recognized as one of the largest, most dynamic organizations of its kind, the Harrisburg Regional Chamber has combined a unique blend of business, community, and economic development services under one roof to improve the region's economic vitality and quality of life
