Everything ACH

I wanted to take a short break from SEC Codes.  Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s riveting reading.  But I wanted to celebrate for a moment instead.

I want to celebrate 2 things;

1.  We recently completed our FREE 2009 ACH Educational Webinar Series and I just wanted to say thank you to all who participated – you know who you are.  And, of course, a big thank you to the fine folks at UMACHA – Kate Cole, Donna Olheiser and Angi Farren and EPN’s (Electronic Payments Network) Laurie Applebaum for their time, energy, knowledge and patience.

We started the ACH Educational Webinar Series in 2007 with a series of 6 targeted ACH educational offerings.  The program has grown and this year we had 7 ACH webinars and 2 Check webinars.  The check training was a nice departure from the norm for us and also a great learning opportunity.

We are already hard at work for 2010 and as soon as we have the dates nailed down, I’ll let you know.  While we will continue with training at the beginner level, it works nicely for folks new to ACH, those who have been around for a while, but wanting some formal training, a refresher for those already in the know and of course, earning continuing education credits is not a bad deal either.

It has been a wonderful year of learning and I hope we all benefitted.  I know I did.

2.  October was a banner month for Everything ACH.  We surpassed 1,100 visits for the month.  I cannot begin to describe how excited I am about this.  If I recall correctly, during the first month – August 2008, we had only 12 visitors.  It was several months later when we finally broke the 100 visitor mark – January 2009.  We had 450 visitors that month.  I was amazed. 

In October, our official number was 1,137 visits.  That makes almost 7,500 visits so far this year – through the end of October.  I hope this means that I am writing about stuff that interests you and that you are learning.  After all, that’s the goal. 

All along I have received some great questions and comments in support of my work.  I would love to hear more – any feedback is welcome…questions or comments.

I have every intention of continuing my work of trying to explain ACH in a plain, simple, easy-to-understand manner and I hope you’ll stick with me.

That being said, thank you.  Thank you for visiting.  Thank for returning.  And thank you for passing the word. 

Hope to see you back soon,

ACH Guy
