All Politics is Local

Getting involved in state advocacy efforts is as easy as picking up the phone and calling your representative. Don’t let another legislative session slip by without meeting key figures in your capitol.

ACA International’s Andy Madden, vice president of state and government affairs, engages in a lively discussion with industry leader Anita Manghisi regarding selected state legislation and the value of participating in grassroots efforts to favorably impact policy. Manghisi, a prominent figure in the ARM industry, won a seat on ACA International’s Board of Directors last June after serving as president of the New York State Collectors Association from 2014-2017. She owns Independent Recovery Resources Inc., in Patchogue, N.Y.
