FOR THE FIRST time, NRMLA’s Annual Meeting, scheduled for November 10–12, will be held virtually, like so many other gatherings, as the industry continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. “This is the preeminent reverse mortgage event in the world—and of the year—every year,” Steve Irwin, NRMLA’s president, says about the 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting and Expo. “My hope is to deliver content and programming that exceeds the standards we’ve already set previously. I hope attendees will be able to learn and gain insights to move their businesses forward and enjoy them- selves at the same time.” The conference will feature the latest developments impacting the industry, including updates on government rules and regulations and best practices developed by members to answer the many challenges posed this year by the novel coronavirus. “Attending NRMLA’s virtual annual meeting gives you exclusive access to the latest news on important reverse mortgage marketplace developments straight from the mouths of the subject matter experts who know the issues best,” says Darryl Hicks, NRMLA’s vice president for communications. Business owners, loan originators, underwriters, compli- ance staff, attorneys, counselors, servicers, processors and ana- lysts will come together to hear from subject experts and share experiences on multiple topics. The sessions will include: • Keeping up with compliance and regulatory measures; • Learning new marketing strategies; • Networking with top industry professionals; • Learning from experts to further personal development; and • Earning continuing education credits toward the Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional (CRMP) designation.
