The question is always asked.....What are the benefits of becoming a member of the Missouri Association of Mortgage Brokers (MAMB)? If you ask a broker member that was around to fight the predatory legislation that threatened the industry a couple of years ago, their answer would be protecting your livelihood and guaranteeing your future in the mortgage industry.
Listed below are some of the valuable reasons why you should consider becoming a member of MAMB:
1. Dual membership in the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB), which provides national representation and the opportunity to attend all NAMB conferences, conventions and education programs.
