Thank you to everyone who joined the Handle BuildingBlocks Community today for Collection Strategies Beyond Lien Law! A huge thank you to Toby Brutsman, Director of Credit with Hanes Companies, Inc., for once again sharing his time, experience, and real-world knowledge with our community. Lien rights are an important tool in construction credit, but they’re not the only tool in your collections toolbox. Toby shared practical strategies for looking beyond lien law, strengthening collection efforts, exploring alternative recovery options, and taking a more proactive approach to reducing risk and getting paid. If you couldn’t join us live, or you want to go back and catch something again, the recording and presentation slides are now available! #BuildingBlocks Watch the Webinar Recording HERE youtube.com/watch?v=CTkQm7…

Join the Handle.com BuildingBlocks Community on November 12th at 1:00 PM CT for a special conversation with Steve Shivak, MS, CAE of the National Association of Credit Management and I, as we discuss the Essentials to Employers: Building Stronger Credit Professionals, Connections & Careers. During this session, Steve and I will talk about how credit professionals can make better decisions through education, tools, and industry resources, build their own “kitchen cabinet” of trusted peers, mentors, and advisors and turn their knowledge and experience into greater influence, leadership, and career opportunities. This won’t be your typical webinar presentation, this will be a real conversation about professional growth, community, and how you can become even more valuable to your organization and the credit profession. Your career is bigger than your job description. Come be part of the conversation. Register today! #buildingblocks luma.com/handle-ztjr

Today the Handle.com BuildingBlocks Community remembers. On September 11, 2001, our nation experienced a tragedy that forever changed us. Today, 25 years later, we pause to honor the 2,977 lives lost, the families who continue to carry their memories, and the first responders, service members, and everyday heroes whose courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. We remember those who went to work that morning and never came home, those who ran toward danger to help others, the families who lost someone they loved and we remember the strength, compassion, and unity shown in the days that followed. Today is a day to reflect, to honor, and to remember. May we never forget. #buildingblocks
