Hard Work Led to Positive Outcomes for AFSA Members in 2017
Looking back over the past year, 2017 will be remembered as a year that key issues affecting the membership of the American Financial Services Association (AFSA) were addressed, and often, resulted in positive outcomes.
From the panel discussion in January at the Vehicle Finance Conference describing the new Washington, D.C. landscape to the House vote on the Privacy Notice Bill last week, 2017 was a year that federal and state advocacy translated into legislative and regulatory victories for AFSA membership.
