“Promoting a robust, sustainable mortgage lending industry and expanding access to affordable credit options through advocacy, leadership, and education”
Mission
Statement
After the housing and financial crisis of 2008, Nevada markets were left devastated, including the two mortgage advocacy groups; NAMP and NVMBA - neither of which survived. In 2010, NAMP was reconstituted and began to reestablish its role, primarily as an educational organization. In 2014, NVMBA reestablished itself as well, primarily as an advocacy organization. The leadership of both organizations agreed that a single organization was a better fit for the needs of the industry in Nevada in the post-great recession world. On January 1, 2015, NAMP and NVMBA merged to form NMLA!!!
