It is rare for a day to pass in our nation’s capital when the real estate finance industry has not come under attack. New legislation, rulemakings and increased oversight threaten to forever change the way you do business.

We are in the crosshairs, and as we enter this election year, the barrage of rules and regulations targeting us will only increase. You have a duty to yourself and to your business to join us at this event, alongside hundreds of your peers, to stand up for your industry and have your voice heard.

On April 18-19, 2012 the real estate finance industry will convene in Washington, D.C. to educate the Administration and Congress on issues that matter most to your careers, your business and our industry.

MBA's National Advocacy Conference 2012 gives you the opportunity to speak directly to lawmakers about what you do in your community as well as the practical effect proposed changes may have on your business and the industry. Read MBA's recently released 2012 Legislative and Regulatory Priorities for a preview of some of the issues that will be covered.

This year's conference brings together key officials, cabinet members and special guest speakers to address these critical issues. This discussion needs your perspective.

NEW FOR COMMERCIAL/MULTIFAMILY PROFESSIONALS: Please note that there will be a separate Capitol Hill visit program developed around Commercial and Multifamily issues this year.



Your voice must be heard. Register today to speak for your industry.
