FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Allied Finance Adjusters (AFA) recognizes the importance of state level associations. State Associations are important influences in the welfare of the repossession industry. They represent the industry on a regional sector of our country. We have had many members reach out to help them establish a state association in their respective states. Many would like their state to be regulated to include state licenses to repossess while others would like to see changes in the existing state laws.
Since the onset of Covid19 members are recognizing that state associations are closer to the front lines where congressman and senators live. Uniting together within their state gives them a much stronger voice.
Wendy Sousa, Second VP of AFA is working diligently to get Massachusetts State Association off the ground and Sal Lodico, Secretary of AFA, is helping start a New York State Association and Wade Argo is working with Illinois State Association. If you are interested in starting a State Association and need help we have an attorney on staff, Machelle Morris, who can help you create your state association. Please reach out to her with any questions or concerns [email protected].
As always AFA’s supports your State Association and ambition to start your state association. Again, we understand the importance of trade associations on the state level. We are here to help and share ideas. Let’s do this together………..let us stay strong!

President
