Yesterday I attended one of my local association conferences in downtown Salt Lake City.  The Utah Association of Mortgage Brokers sponsored the event, and asked Marc Savitt, President of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers to speak to us about recent legislation changes made by congress.

That was an interesting two hour meeting and later during the lunch break I was able to speak to Marc specifically about some of the issues we're facing.  I mentioned that I had written a number of articles on Active Rain about the bailout and specific solutions to the problem, and his eyes lit up when I mentioned Active Rain.   He mentioned another LO from South Dakota had invited him to join, and he was strongly considering joining our ranks.  I also give him some tips on how to get his rankings higher within google, and suggested that he offer a daily blog that could link directly from the NAMB website to his Activerain blog.

Hope to see Marc posting shortly.  Marc is a sharp and capable leader for mortgage brokers in this time of trouble and change.  I am pleased that we have such great leadership in our organization.  When Marc does join Activerain, I suggest we give him a warm welcome!
