Arizona Mortgage Broker Bill Howe is new President-elect of National Association of Mortgage Brokers

Arizona Association of Mortgage Brokers - Arizona veteran mortgage broker Bill Howe just assumed the President-elect position on July 1 for  the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB).  AAMB recently caught up with Bill to ask him some questions.

 

AAMB

As President-Elect of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers, what do you perceive to be the greatest opportunity for the mortgage broker in the remaining five months of 2009?

HOWE

In looking back at the archives of “News From NAMB” and “NAMB Fights for YOU,” I counted twelve (12) major bills that NAMB has testified or has written a formal response to so far in 2009.  Several Calls to Action to the membership were posted.  NAMB sued FHFA on our behalf.  At this time of need in our industry and for the association, I say get involved and support these efforts to protect our industry.  If you’re serious about staying in the mortgage business, it’s time to get involved.  Respond to legislative calls to action.  Recruit a new member.  Donate to the NAMBPAC. 

 

AAMB

It is an honor to have an AAMB member on the National Board.  As an Arizona mortgage broker, what is the single most important area that mortgage brokers need to unite around?

HOWE

Immediately respond to and support the 18 month delay in the HVCC.  Then continue to stay involved.  Make sure your contact information with AAMB and at NAMB.org is correct so we can disseminate the information to you.  And again, invite someone to be a member.

AAMB

As you know, AAMB is a highly respected organization in Arizona business, politics and the community.  What might you say to a mortgage broker who isn't a member of this association currently?

HOWE

I have had this very conservation with several people I have known through the years.  You may not like me, or Marc Savitt, or Jim Pair, or anyone else that is involved.  But it’s not about us as individuals.  It’s about all of us together, standing united against the challenges we face.  You must support what NAMB does.  Who else speaks for the mortgage broker at the federal level?  Can you name any organization that has the clout NAMB does on the hill to protect our business?  It’s time to join. 

 

AAMB

If everyone in the association were to dedicate 30 minutes of their time to the association this year, where would you tell them to invest those 30 minutes?

 

HOWE

Ask someone to become a member.  Donate twenty dollars per closed loan to NAMBPAC through payroll deduction.  Get involved.
