conference takes place on the waterfront in New Orleans, in the
heart of the famous Crescent City.
Senator David Vitter (R-LA) will be among the prominent speakers
addressing conference attendees. He will speak to NAMB's national
leadership and state delegates on Sunday morning, Aug. 24.
NAMB/SOUTHEAST events include education and professional
certification courses; an industry symposium; business-building,
leadership and networking tips; government affairs updates;
association business meetings; and a tradeshow. More than 60 hours

"The Power of Partnerships," a full-day symposium on Saturday,
will include government affairs updates on the latest lending,
licensing and other bills and laws affecting the business,
including a presentation by a Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
