The National Automotive

Finance Association will present a workshop for lenders and dealers

from 9 am to 3 pm on March 19, 2003 at the Embassy Suites Hotel

Atlanta - Airport.

The workshop is designed to help dealers and lenders work together in

meeting customers' needs. Interactive workshops with actual case

studies provide ample opportunities for those attending to ask

questions and to exchange information, according to the company.

The topics in the session on legal affairs (Thomas B. Hudson, Esq.

Partner, Hudson Cook LLP and Steve Levine, General Counsel Regional

Acceptance Corporation) will include: class action lawsuits; new FTC

regulations on safeguarding privacy; requirements under the Patriot

Act and other anti-terror legislation; consumer attacks on dealer

participation; developments in arbitration; and advertising practices

and the law.

In the dealer-lender session (Steve Hall, President, Easterns

Automotive Group), sales finance companies and dealers will review

four case studies representing challenges to the relationship between

dealer and finance company and develop solutions.

A session on credit (Virgil Baker, Virgil Baker & Associates) will

focus on underwriting the non-prime applicant. Through use of case

studies, those in attendance will learn techniques to help improve

risk identification of non-prime credit applicants and to prevent the

consequences of inappropriate credit decisions.

Registration is $399 per person, or $199 for NAF Association members,

and there is a $50 discount, from either rate, for additional

registrants from the same company. Information and registration form

can be found on the events page of the Association website
