Fund For Public Education
The CLLA Fund for Public Education was founded in 1980 as a 501(c)(3) educational corporation. It has a dual purpose:
- to act as a resource to the CLLA in developing educational programs presented at League meetings
- to provide education to those interested in the credit, collections, or bankruptcy fields through programs offered to the business community, the bar generally and if appropriate to the public at large
The Fund for Public Education has been at the forefront in presenting programs
in alternate formats and means of delivery. It was one of the early presenters
of live, via satellite video teleconferences. The Fund has also used telephone
teleconferences to make quality continuing legal education programs accessible
and affordable to all.

The Fund is always seeking input from those in the field about topics of interest and new trends in the area of the law.
Someone once said, "History is written by people who attend meetings, and stay until the end and keep the minutes" -- and the folks who attended CLLA's 116thNational Meeting in Chicago certainly helped write history. The very successful meeting featured outstanding educational programs, passionate discussions about important issues facing the profession and the CLLA, and engaging networking events.
As a sponsor of the American Board of Certification, the CLLA encourages certification of attorneys in business bankruptcy, consumer bankruptcy and creditors' rights law.
