NAMB Grassroots Advocacy
NAMB relies on its members to help inform Congress of the important role that mortgage brokers play in today's market. A strong Advocacy team is imperative in defending our industry. We need YOU to help us build this advocacy network!
NAMB holds two annual Advocacy Events: In-District Advocacy & Advocacy Day at the annual Legislative & Regulatory Conference.
The In-District Advocacy Event takes place when Congress returns to their home states/districts during the summer. NAMB members are encouraged to make appointments with their Congressmen and women. Members are provided with talking points and leave-behind documents for their visits and fill out feed-back forms that return to NAMB Government Affairs staff for analysis.
The NAMB Legislative & Regulatory Conference provides NAMB members with the opportunity to travel to Washington, DC and meet with their Representatives and Senators on Capitol Hill. Registrants for the event receive a packet of information including talking points, position papers, and leave-behind documents. Those wishing to participate in Advocacy Day must register to receive this information. NAMB Government Affairs staff receives all feed-back forms following the event for analysis and follow-up meetings.
Meeting with your Senator/Representative at another time? NAMB encourages its members to meet with their state and federal officials outside of these two annual advocacy events. If you plan to meet with an official, please provide NAMB with a) the date, time, and name of the official with whom you are meeting (click here); and b) important feedback by filling out a feedback form (click here). NAMB Government Affairs staff will be able to analyze the information and conduct follow-up meetings if necessary. Meeting with your official allows NAMB to establish a "GrassTOPS" network by finding out which Senators and Representatives have been responsive to NAMB's message. If you are not able to fill out a feedback form or enter your information, you are welcome to e-mail governmentaffairs@namb.org with any information about your meeting that you feel is important.
If you would like to set up a state event using our system, please contact asheridan@namb.org. All participants must be NAMB members to access the system.
