Advocacy

  • The Mortgage Action Alliance, Inc.® (MAA) is a voluntary, non-partisan and free nationwide grassroots lobbying network for real estate finance industry professionals, affiliated with the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). We are dedicated to strengthening the industry’s voice and lobbying power in Washington, DC and state capitals across America.
  • Join MAA to play an active role in how laws and regulations that affect the industry and consumers are created and carried out by lobbying and building relationships with policymakers. It only takes a moment to get started, and you do not have to be a member of MBA to enroll.

Education: CMB and AMP

  • The Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB) designation is the industry standard of professional success. It symbolizes respect, credibility, ethics, and achievement within real estate finance. Earning a CMB instantly places you at the top of our dynamic industry and makes you a part of the elite group that has achieved the highest level of professional success.

  • When you graduate from MBA Education’s School of Mortgage Banking (SOMB), you become an Accredited Mortgage Professional (AMP). This designation recognizes the achievements of individuals in the single-family real estate finance industry for their pursuit of educational excellence, high ethical standards, and commitment to professionalism.
