INDUSTRY EXPERTS SHARE WHAT THEY THINK WILL HAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON THE ARM INDUSTRY IN 2021
- A year ago, nobody would have predicted that a virus would be what impacted the world — and the ARM industry — more than anything else. What will shape our industry in 2021? Maybe it will be something we expect, maybe it won’t. AccountsRecovery.net asked nine members of the ARM industry — Mike Frost, Larry Parks, Lauren Valenzuela, Rick Bonitzer, Chris Dunkum, Michael Klutho, Don Maurice, Garret Angelo, and Ray Peloso — what they think will have the biggest impact in 2021. Here is what they said.
