ADVERTISEMENTS

Earlier today, National Structured Settlement Trade Association President Mike Kelly sent an email to members of the association reminding them that as of tomorrow SmithBucklin is no longer NSSTA?s management company.  Good riddance!  Echoing my June 3, 2010 blog post, in my opinion, to call SmithBucklin?s performance as NSSTA?s management company a disaster for NSSTA would be the understatement of the year.  

As readers of this blog know, I tackle tough issues.  I expect feedback to be mixed.  Some NSSTA members support my views.  Others strongly oppose them.  Fair enough. But earlier this month, after my blog about problems SmithBucklin has caused NSSTA, the response was unanimous.  NOT A SINGLE NSSTA MEMBER wrote (or called) me to support SmithBucklin.

I heard a lot of feedback and every communication applauded my criticism of SmithBucklin.  Most of the feedback went further, anecdotes of  phone messages not returned, CE credits not submitted, and other purportedly questionable behavior to officers and members of our association.

NSSTA members deserve a management company that meets basic professional standards. It?s certainly not too much to ask that phone messages be returned to officers and members!  I admit it's a low bar, but  we weren't looking for limbo rockers. 

In honor of the SmithBucklin NSSTA "quagmire", Glenn leads the sendoff.
