Benefits of Becoming a NEAMB Member
Legislative Advocacy
NEAMB represents the mortgage broker industry promoting legislation, negotiating with regulatory agencies, and working in partnership with other associations to achieve our public policy goals. It is the goal of NEAMB to present a Legislative bill to the State of Nebraska in ’09. Legislative victories by NAMB have earned the respect of HUD, industry representatives and consumer groups. NAMB continues to make our presence felt at the negotiating table as we press for fundamental mortgage reform in Congress
The association’s extensive grassroots member network is NAMB’s crown jewel and the envy of the mortgage finance industry. It allows us to strike quickly when major legislative or regulatory issues threaten our members’ livelihoods. With our sizeable membership, we are often called upon to provide guidance as new laws and regulations take shape. Our growing numbers and grassroots activism have attracted broad support from leaders in our nation’s Capitol and translate into more clout both within the industry and among regulators and elected officials.
NEAMB's Commitment to Members
In the midst of NEAMB’s remarkable growth, our top priority is to be responsive to the needs of our members. Through your involvement in NEAMB, you will have a national voice on the issues that will help shape the future of our industry and your business.

Education Program
The goal of the NEAMB Education Committee is to provide reasonably priced and convenient educational opportunities across Nebraska. As a member of NEAMB, you receive even greater savings every time you enroll! Educational courses are held at various locations and events across the state, providing you with many opportunities to expand your knowledge. From introductory courses to those courses that examine key mortgage industry issues, we offer a training course for everyone.
With more and more states looking to continuing education as a chief requirement of state licensure, industry education is more important than ever before. Participation in educational courses not only allows you to expand your business, but it provides much-needed business insurance.
NAMB’s certification program presents you with a golden opportunity to advance your career. With three levels of certification available, NAMB gives you another tool to differentiate yourself from other mortgage professionals, increase your business opportunities, maintain your skills and industry knowledge, and boost your bottom line. Whether you are a seasoned mortgage broker or someone relatively new to the business, certification is a worthwhile investment.
