Membership
Requirements
If
you are an employee of a company that is engaged in, or supports
the business of, real estate finance you may become a Mortgage Action
Alliance member, either by completing and mailing in the attached
membership card or by registering online.
You will be required to re-register your membership annually
to retain full member privileges. (We will notify you to renew your
membership prior to its lapse.) By becoming a member, you consent
to receive e-mails and other communications concerning the Alliance's
advocacy issues. No dues are required.
There
are many ways to get involved in the organization:
Alliance Membership
As an Alliance member,
we encourage you to write, call, email and meet with your Member
of Congress both here in Washington, DC and in their district and
state offices on issues of concern to you. We can assist you
in setting up meetings and provide you with information to be an
effective advocate.
Recruit New MAA
Members
As an Alliance member,
we urge you to recruit your friends and colleagues and ask them
to join the Alliance. We want to continue to grow the program
to be an even more effective lobbying force in Washington, DC and
state capitals.
Volunteer
to be an Alliance Go-To Coordinator
A Go-To Coordinator is
a Mortgage Action Alliance member who volunteers their time to serve
as a liaison and key point person with a Member of Congress. Go-To
Coordinators are counted on to build and maintain a working relationship
with a legislator, volunteer to be a group leader for district and
state lobbying meetings, recruit new Mortgage Action Alliance members
and work closely with MBA's political action committee, MORPAC.
If you would like more information about becoming a Mortgage Action
Alliance Go-To Coordinator, please contact Paul Hilliar, at (202)
557-2858 or philliar@mortgagebankers.org.
Attend the National
Policy Conference
Every year, Alliance members
meet in Washington, DC for the Alliance's premier legislative conference.
This two day event, which will take place on March 21 and 22, 2006,
brings together hundreds of real estate finance industry professionals
to hear from key policy makers and lobby Members of Congress on
legislation important to the industry. This is your chance
to join your colleagues from your state and lobby your Members of
Congress.
Participate in
MORPAC
As a member of the Alliance
you can participate in MBA's political action committee, MORPAC.
MORPAC contributes financial resources to candidates for Congress
who have an understanding of the real estate finance and housing
industries.
