Working For: Loan Production Professionals

Making An Impact Through Networks

MBA’s Residential Loan Production Committee is the brain trust for mortgage origination-related policy and regulatory change in Washington. The Committee receives intelligence on all emerging policy changes related to mortgage production and advises on MBA advocacy strategy. For issues specific to FHA, VA, and USDA/RHS, MBA hosts more targeted discussions via the Government Loan Production Subcommittee. Participation on these and other MBA policy committees additionally affords members periodic opportunities to speak directly to loan program administrators from the GSEs and government agencies. Your membership allows you to join these highly educational and influential networks, giving you a say in shaping the future of the industry.
