The American Financial Services Association kicks off its annual Vehicle Finance Conference with a focus on what makes our industry so crucial to our national economy: our diversity and our focus on empowering consumers. The Women’s Leadership Council and Law Committee met today to examine issues around ensuring that our industry reflects the customers and communities our members serve, while also ensuring that at the state and federal level pro-consumer policies are in place to ensure customers are protected and have access to the credit they need.
The conference gets rolling in earnest tomorrow as we take the pulse of the auto industry and look at the global auto finance marketspace. Michael Dunne will share his expertise on China and the opportunities – and challenges – the country provides to the industry. The Exhibitor's Marketplace will be open at 5:30 with the Welcome to Las Vegas Reception.
