Conference Information

The Minnesota Collection Network is pleased to sponsor this three day collections conference on Campus Based Programs and Student Accounts Receivable. Our Network was formed in 1988 to increase the level of communication between educational institutions. One way of doing this is to provide conferences at minimal cost.
