details

In March 2013, mortgage bankers and associated real estate finance professionals from across the state will participate in TMBA's biennial Advocacy Day. Please help us communicate the importance of our industry to Texas’ economy through your support and participation in TMBA's Advocacy Day. We must ensure that the views of Texas’ real estate financial industry are heard by our State Legislators as they consider issues vital to the future of Texas housing.

The event begins with an opening reception on March 19 at the Stephen F Austin Intercontinental Hotel, just minutes from the Capitol and TMBA’s offices. On the morning of March 20, participants will meet for a Legislative Briefing & Breakfast, presented by John Fleming, TMBA’s General Counsel. Following the briefing, we will walk over to the Capitol for scheduled meetings with key members of the legislature including your Legislators. Based on the information provided on your registration form, TMBA will pre-schedule appointments with your local legislators and/or their staffers.

TMBA represents your interests to the Texas Legislature, but no one's voice carries more weight with your elected officials than your own. By sharing information and industry issues, you will increase awareness, knowledge and boost support for the Texas mortgage industry.

Note: For planning and coordination purposes, we need to know as soon as possible whether you plan to participate in the TMBA Advocacy Day. Please complete and return the registration form to our office no later than February 18th.
