Hi, I’m Adam De Sanctis with the Mortgage Minute, the latest news from the Mortgage Bankers Association. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Washington last week for MBA’s National Advocacy Conference. Your time, energy, and engagement made a real impact. This year’s flying brought nearly 600 real estate finance professionals together for two days of meaningful policy discussions, collaboration and direct engagement with lawmakers. Attendees heard from an impressive lineup of congressional leaders and policy experts and more than 400 MBA members met with over 300 offices on Capitol Hill to address key issues shaping today’s housing finance system from affordability challenges and credit score modernization to capital standards, and the future of the secondary mortgage market. Congratulations to Rich Jordan. This year’s Burton Seawood Legislative Service Award winner, NAC continues to play a critical role in ensuring our industry’s voice is heard. Join us for Mortgage Action Alliance Week, May 11th through the 15th, to keep that momentum going year round. This nationwide effort aims to grow MAA membership, boost engagement with calls to action and expand grassroots advocacy across the industry.
