ACA Agency, Affiliate and Asset Buyers
Division (ABD) Members

ACA agency, affiliate and ABD members are eligible to vote at the ACA Annual Meeting of the Membership on July 12, 2010, provided: 1. At least one person from that

member’s office has registered as a full first person/delegate for the convention;

2. The full first person/delegate from that member’s office is present for the balloting; and

3. The company was a member of record in ACA as of June 1, 2010.

To avoid questions about any member’s right to vote at the ACA Annual Meeting of the Membership, visit the convention registration desk before the ACA Annual Meeting of the Membership to check whether the member company’s representative is registered as a full first person/delegate.

Occasionally, an individual who is registered as a full first person/delegate will not be in attendance at the Annual Meeting of the Membership. In this event, it is possible to designate another individual from the member company’s office to assume the individual’s standing as a full first person/delegate.

However, the individual must make this change before the voting registration and sign-in process begins at 3: 30 p.m. EDT on Monday, July 12, 2010, at the Annual Meeting of the Membership. Individuals who wish to substitute another individual from their office location as the member’s full first person/delegate at the Annual Meeting of the Membership should notify the convention staff at the convention registration desk.

Individuals registered as “second person,” registered for “team discounts” or registered for daily registrations are not eligible to vote.

Multi-Office Memberships

Each member company is entitled to
cast one vote. Therefore, companies
that maintain multi-office memberships
are entitled to cast a vote for each
membership maintained in the
association. A representative for each
member office must pay a full first
person/delegate registration fee and be
present for the balloting in order to
qualify the member office for a vote.

Creditors International (CI) Members

CI individual members are eligible to vote at the ACA Annual Meeting of the Membership on July 12, 2010, provided:

1. The CI member has registered as a full first person/delegate for the convention;

2. The CI member is present for the balloting; and

3. The individual was a CI member of record in ACA as of June 1, 2010.

Individuals who maintain both individual and agency memberships must designate the membership category from which they choose to cast their vote. Duplicate voting is prohibited. Voting privileges are not transferable for CI members under any circumstances.
