Attorney Forwarding Network was established to assist the credit and collection industry in the selection of competent and reliable out-of-town counsel for debt collection.

AFN provides a complete profile of each firm’s particular practice. AFN staff is prepared to assist in any area, including locating counsel in vacant counties or customizing a bespoke network of collection specialists.
Membership Marketing & Engagement
From traditional media including direct mail (yes, direct mail), email and telephone to digital - online, social and mobile - to using chapters as a growth opportunity, Wright Holmes’ proven expertise in integrated, multi-channel membership marketing and retention will help grow your membership into a more robust, vibrant organization. And once acquired, we will help you ramp up your communications and cultivation tactics including high-touch welcome calls; printed and emailed newsletters; streaming video ; thought leadership-driven webinars and chapter events to increase member satisfaction and retention.
Non-Dues Revenue (Fundraising & Sponsorship)
When there is a need for funding beyond dues, event registrations and product sales – to support educational or related charitable activities or for their foundation – associations can usually go to their members and service providers for an additional source of revenue. But do you view your supporters as not only an important source of revenue but as a valued part of your association community? Wright Holmes will approach this important constituent group strategically and thoughtfully, treating them more than just a piggy bank to go back to time and again, but a true resource valued for their expertise and thought leadership.
Creative, Branding & Design
Does your association have a strong brand that is recognized by all in your space? Are there guidelines that are enforced from national office communications down to the chapters? A brand is not just a logo or design elements. Rather, it is how it is perceived by its constituents; staff and service providers; law- and rule-makers; policy experts across the political spectrum; members and leaders of other organizations; the media…it’s not overstating it to say: the public at large. Wright Holmes’ creative resources will assist you with all aspects of design - from marketing materials to conference branding - and in all formats - from printed to online to digital.
Online & New Media Resources
Is your website intuitive and easy to use? Can your members easily find the educational and topical resources they need on your website? More importantly, are you facilitating valuable interaction between members? Are you using all tools - including the fastest growing medium online: video - to their greatest effect? Wright Holmes can help guide the ‘reinvention’ of your online properties to better serve your members and the profession, focusing on what members want and need first.
Event Management & Professional Development
Are your conferences and meetings geared to maximize value that your attendees and service providers require from their time and monetary commitment? Are they the important source of non-dues revenue they should be to keep your association running? Do your chapters run efficient events? From event selection to promotion, registration and the minutiae of on-site support (audio-visual, the exhibit hall, the mobile event app), Wright Holmes ensures your events not only run smoothly but are the must-attend event(s) year-in and year-out.
Policy, Advocacy, Communications & Earned Media
Are your communicating your mission effectively to law- and rule-makers at the national, state and local levels? Could you better invigorate your grassroots (and grasstops) supporters? Have you even identified them? Does your work provide a communications/public relations or earned media opportunity to showcase your work and that of your members nationally and locally? Or is your market inconspicuous by design? Wright Holmes will identify your targets and then identify what moves them. We will reach out to those they turn to and listen to and turn your issues into actions.
Governance & Strategic Planning
Is your volunteer leadership getting what it needs to provide strong direction for the organization? Does your committee and chapter structure cultivate strategic insight and bring future leaders to the fore? Wright Holmes’ management and operational support includes day-to-day scheduling and administrative services, financial, membership and events reporting, on-site and virtual board and committee meeting services and board/committee orientation and training so that your best volunteers are well-equipped and confident. Wright Holmes can also facilitate high-level strategic planning and then execute on the initiatives that will ensure your association is prepared to lead its members into the future.
