2009 Legislative & Regulatory Conference sponsored by
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
The number one reason you should attend this event is the satisfaction of knowing you are doing your part to ensure that mortgage broker issues are heard on Capitol Hill. You are the best spokesperson for our issues. Your participation benefits you, the industry and our clients as a whole by strengthening our presence in the halls of Congress.
And if that doesn't convince you, here are some excellent reasons given by last year's attendees:
DEBATE THE HOTTEST ISSUES AFFECTING YOUR BUSINESS TODAY
"I have been attending this conference for the past ten years and each year revitalizes my knowledge of how the political process contributes to the mortgage industry. It is essential for NAMB members to discuss issues and make positive change for mortgage brokers and their customers." -John Marcell
LOBBY YOUR REPRESENTATIVES ON CAPITOL HILL
"There is no better way to build relationships with your Senators and Representatives than to attend Lobby Day. Getting face to face with the decision makers that create important policy is invaluable during such historic and unprecedented times in our industry." - Bill Kidwell
DO NOT MISS OUT ON WHAT THIS CONFERENCE HAS TO OFFER
"If you can only attend on national meeting this year, make it the NAMB 2009 Legislative Conference. It is a great opportunity to meet with fellow NAMB members and work together to formulate NAMB's policy agenda." -Don Fader, CRMS
KEY ISSUES IN 2009 INCLUDE...
RESPA Reform | Mortgage Reform | National Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (S.A.F.E. Act) | Small Businesses in Transition
It's all happening now!
