2019 Eastern Regional Meeting

05/20/2019 @ 9:00 am - 05/21/2019 @ 12:00 pm

Welcome to the 2019 NRMLA Eastern Regional Meeting. This conference provides a valuable forum for reverse mortgage professionals and the Wall Street executives who work on the capital markets/investor side of the business to learn and network with each other.

Over 1.5 days, you’ll hear from senior officials at HUD and Ginnie Mae, as well as from top subject matter experts in sales, compliance and secondary markets.

Use this occasion to introduce yourself to these speakers. Ask them questions. And when you’re not listening to a presentation, talk to the people sitting near you. Network and make new friends. You’ll find that many of the people who attend NRMLA conferences have been in the reverse mortgage industry for many years and are often willing to share their knowledge and experiences. We hope you learn something new and forge some new, lasting relationships.
