What a way to close out another incredible Credit Congress! 🎉 From reconnecting with longtime friends to making new memories at the closing party, this week was a reminder of why this industry means so much to me. The relationships we’ve built through NACM are truly the heart of this profession. A special congratulations to Jill Leimbach on your retirement. Thank you for your years of leadership, service, and the impact you’ve had on so many throughout the credit community. Wishing you nothing but happiness and adventure in this next chapter. ❤️ I’d also like to welcome Steve Shivak as the new NACM President. I’m excited to see where your leadership takes the organization and look forward to the innovation, growth, and exciting changes ahead. Thank you, NACM, for another unforgettable Credit Congress filled with education, laughter, friendship, and inspiration. Until next year in Las Vegas… ♠️🎲✨ #buildingblocks #NACM #CreditCongress2026

Closing out NACM Credit Congress with one final session that serves as an important reminder: collections is about more than numbers, it's about people. Join the Handle.com BuildingBlocks Community as featured speaker Sheila Roames, CCE of Ergon Inc. presents The Human Touch for Smarter Collections. As technology continues to reshape our industry, the ability to communicate with empathy, build trust, and strengthen relationships remains one of the most valuable skills a credit professional can have. Looking forward to learning from Sheila and ending an incredible week at Credit Congress on a high note. #buildingblocks #creditcongress2026 #nacm

Joint Checks and Lien Waivers can be powerful tools for protecting payment and reducing risk. They can also create confusion, false assumptions, and costly mistakes when they're misunderstood or used incorrectly. Today, Handle's BuildingBlocks Community was joined by Angie Guillen (@Sunstate_Equip ) and Wendy Barba (@ScottEquipCo ) went beyond theory and shared real-world lessons from the front lines of construction credit, including practical strategies, common pitfalls, and best practices credit professionals can apply immediately. Key takeaways included: ✅ When joint checks actually provide protection, and when they may not ✅ How joint checks and lien waivers work together as part of a broader payment protection strategy ✅ The costly mistakes credit teams make when relying on assumptions ✅ Real-world approaches for reducing exposure and protecting cash flow This wasn't a legal lecture or a textbook presentation. It was a practical conversation between experienced credit professionals who deal with these challenges every day. If you're responsible for credit, collections, finance, accounting, contracts, or risk management in construction, this is a discussion worth adding to your watch list. 🎥 Watch the recording here. Thank you again to Angie and Wendy for sharing their expertise and to everyone who joined us live and contributed to the conversation. #buildingblocks youtu.be/oWS6NHqgVoA
