The NFCC Professional Achievement and Counseling Excellence (PACE) Awards were established in 1973 to recognize excellence and innovation in the areas of member counseling and client services. It's a time to recognize and honor an NFCC Member Agency Counselor and Educator who have made a difference over the past year in the lives of consumers like you. It also provides us an opportunity to bestow another important award: NFCC Client of the Year.
This award goes to an individual (or couple) who have not just overcome a staggering amount of debt, but they did it by making sacrifices that will amaze and astonish you. They did it by committing to the idea that the right thing to do would be to pay off every cent they owe, and that failure is not an option.
The videos below introduce you to some of the past NFCC PACE Clients of the Year award winners. Take a moment to view their stories. Learn the ordinary ways in which they got into trouble, and take heart in the extraordinary ways in which they dug themselves out.
Most importantly, know that if they can get out of debt, so can you.
