2023 NMMLA Presidents Welcome
Dear NMMLA Members,
I am honored and excited to be President of the New Mexico Mortgage Lenders Association for 2023. While it will be a year of challenges, it will also be a year of opportunities.
One of our first duties, already underway, is working with our Legislature which will convene for 60 days this year. As bills are introduced, we will monitor those bills to see if they will affect our industry. While bills may be introduced with good intent, there may be unforeseen and detrimental consequences to our industry, homeowners, and to the economy of New Mexico. We will keep watch and work with our Legislators to insure New Mexico’s Real Estate Industry continues to grow and prosper. We may on occasion reach out to you, our members, with a call to action. I ask that you get involved and make a difference.
We will continue to provide meaningful and useful material that will assist you in your growth as Mortgage Professionals. We will continue to bring exciting speakers to our luncheons that will be both entertaining and educational.
I hope to see us team up with other organizations in the Real Estate Industry to enhance our position in the political arena and create opportunities for community involvement.
The New Mexico Mortgage Lenders Association is a highly regarded and Nationally recognized organization. The success of our organization is due to its membership, all of you. We will continue to lead and grow.
In closing, I want to thank Sheryl Kassetas for her leadership of this organization in 2022 and to take the time to thank our Board of Directors. I am blessed to have such an experienced and talented group of individuals to help me in 2023.
