New Hampshire mortgage bankers and brokers join NAMBMortgagePress.comMortgage Bankers Association of America, small business brokers
The Board of Governors for the Mortgage Bankers and Brokers
Association of New Hampshire unanimously voted to join the National Association of Mortgage
Brokers. The New Hampshire state association, which has long
been a member of the national Mortgage Bankers Association of
America (MBA), felt like its small business members needed the
added support that NAMB offers through its education and
legislative programs.
"We serve larger banks and small business brokers," said Meg
Malette, the New Hampshire association's executive director. "While
our MBA membership meets the needs of some our members, we knew
that we needed something more for the mortgage brokers and mortgage
bankers who face much different challenges than the big banks."
Under the new agreement with NAMB, the association will remain
with MBA and join NAMB. Its members will then have the opportunity
to join NAMB as individual members as well. "The MBA primarily
represents the 10 or 15 largest banks in the nation," said NAMB
President Harry Dinham, CMC. "NAMB is most suited to protect the
interests of small-business owners in our industry. We believe that
we can better represent many of the New Hampshire members in
Congress and through our strong broker and banker education
programs." The Mortgage Bankers and Brokers Association of New
Hampshire will now become NAMB's New Hampshire state affiliate.
Dinham noted that this will create new opportunities for other
brokers and bankers in the state to gain access to the expanded
resources that come with NAMB membership.
