Collection Advisor Names Robert G. Cooper as one of the

50 Most Influential Professionals in the

Collection Industry for 2005

Honor Announced at CAT Expo in Las Vegas, Nov. 17, 2005

Las Vegas, Nev. – Collection Advisor magazine today announced its selection of the 50 Most Influential Professionals in the Collection Industry for 2005. The announcement was made by Harry A. Strausser III, president of Remit Corporation in Bloomsburg, Pa., former chair of the ACA and emcee of the CAT Expo.

This is the first year the magazine bestowed an honor of this kind on members of the collections profession, and was a highlight of CAT Expo, an educational forum for the collections profession sponsored by the magazine.

            “All 50 professionals represent the best of the best in the industry, and were chosen not only for their participation as leaders in the profession, but for their support of leading-edge technologies, collection methods and years of insight into what makes this industry a market leader,” says Editor/Publisher T. Allen Rose. “On behalf of the magazine, we are very pleased to bestow this honor on these very worthy professionals.”

            Nominated by their peers, the 50 professionals will be featured in the magazine’s January/February 2006 issue, along with a companion story honoring the Top 100 Technology Products in the collection industry – another “first” honor of its kind for the profession.
