Only volunteer-led and membership-driven national organization
representing mortgage brokers, delivered rewarding experience for
its members who were able to engage members from the U.S. Congress,
FHFA, HUD and industry leaders
WASHINGTON, April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The National Association
of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB), the first and only national
volunteer-led and membership-driven organization representing the
interests of mortgage brokers and home buyers since 1973, is
thrilled to announce its 33rd annual Legislative & Regulatory
Conference (LRC) which was in Washington
D.C. April 15-17, 2024 was a
massive success for its membership and lawmakers.
"For over 50 years NAMB has been a key figure in guiding the
nation's landscape in terms of laws and best practices that improve
home buying experiences of borrowers and the livelihoods of
mortgage professionals," said Valerie
Saunders," Volunteer President of NAMB. "This week NAMB was
able to secure the finest speakers and thought leaders for our
members to gain tools and have their voices heard all designed to
improve our members ability to serve clients while offering direct
access to lawmakers to discuss matters that guide the
marketplace."
NAMB is the only national nonprofit group supporting the
mortgage industry and therefore is able to attract the brightest
minds to its conference(s) which is why event attendees were able
to hear directly from many lawmakers and regulatory leaders during
the 33rd Annual Legislative & Regulatory Conference
including:
- Representative Warren Davidson
(R-OH)
- Representative Emmanuel Cleaver
II (D-MO)
- The Honorable Sandra L. Thompson, FHFA Director (third
appearance at NAMB LRC)
- Adrianne Todman, Deputy
Secretary of HUD
- Jeff Markowitz, Freddie Mac,
Deputy CAO
NAMB volunteer board of directors and its membership spent
April 17, 2024 at the United States
Capitol Building lobbying lawmakers in-person on many critical
legislative initiatives NAMB has spent years leading the advocacy
crusade for, including:
- The Homebuyers' Privacy Protection Act (HR 7297 AND
S.3502)
- The Love Lives on Act of 2023 (S. 1266)
- H.R. 2827, the Captain James C. Edge Gold Star Spouse Equity
Act
"Today's lobbying efforts did not go on unnoticed by
congressional lawmakers. NAMB's volunteer board directors and
dozens of our members from all corners of the United States, met with members of
congress on matters that directly impact the livelihoods of
mortgage brokers across the nation and together we presented a
united front offering partnership to help enact important future
changes to many items to ensure a more fluid system for which our
colleagues can operate and assist borrowers in 2024 and beyond,
added Saunders. "It was thrilling to be arm in arm as the only
national membership driven nonprofit in the country representing
both mortgage professionals and borrowers as we discussed important
matters with elected officials that rely on our commentary and
experiences as they create regulations that make the mortgage
landscape a more fluid marketplace to thrive within."
Additionally, during the conference NAMB hosted its Diversity
Equity & Inclusion Day which featured speakers from Freddie
Mac, National Housing Conference and UnidosUS. Panelists and NAMB
members held critical discussions on the real issues minority
homeowners face in today's market. "We were thrilled by the
transparent discussion created within our DEI Day and look forward
to a broader agenda and more speakers driving increased dialogue
around these topics throughout 2024 and 2025 leading up to NAMB's
34th annual Legislative and Regulatory Conference in 2025," added
Saunders.
