WASHINGTON, D.C., January 23, 2026 — The Broker Action Coalition (BAC) and the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) today announced “Advocacy in Action: Better Together,” a joint professional development event scheduled for April 20-22, 2026, in Washington, D.C.
The announcement, made during NAMB Focus – the organization’s annual sales, marketing, and technology conference – marks the first collaboration of its kind between the two organizations, bringing together mortgage brokers from across the country for education, networking, and industry dialogue.
Uniting the Broker Community
Both organizations have previously hosted successful independent events in Washington. BAC’s April 2025 event drew more than 125 attendees and featured 39 meetings with congressional offices, while NAMB has a long-established track record of bringing brokers together for professional development and industry engagement.
This joint initiative leverages the combined membership and resources of both organizations to create expanded networking opportunities and educational programming.
“This partnership reflects what our industry needs most right now: unity,” said Kimber White, President of NAMB. “When brokers come together, it creates opportunities for meaningful dialogue, professional growth, and stronger industry connections.”
Professional Development Meets Industry Engagement
The event format combines professional education with direct engagement opportunities. Participants will receive briefings on current industry topics, training on effective business communication, and scheduled meetings with industry stakeholders and congressional offices.
Rachel Clark, Executive Director of the BAC, emphasizes the practical value: “Industry discussions happen every day that directly impact brokers and the families we serve. By co-hosting this event with NAMB, we are creating stronger connections and more effective communication channels for independent brokers.”
Accessible for All Brokers
At just $99 to attend, the event removes traditional barriers to professional development and industry engagement. This pricing reflects both organizations’ commitment to grassroots participation rather than limiting access to those who can afford high conference fees.
The three-day format provides comprehensive education alongside networking opportunities. Attendees will receive briefings on current industry trends, training on business communication strategies, and coordinated schedules for stakeholder meetings.
Building Industry Connections
NAMB’s established infrastructure and nationwide membership base complement BAC’s grassroots mobilization model. Together, the organizations represent thousands of independent mortgage brokers across all 50 states.
As independent brokers navigate federal oversight while operating in local markets, professional development and industry education become increasingly important. This partnership creates a unified platform for brokers to strengthen connections, share best practices, and ensure their role within the mortgage landscape continues to thrive.
This collaborative effort underscores the growing importance of broker advocacy in shaping policies that directly impact the mortgage industry, emphasizing that collective action is vital in addressing the evolving challenges brokers face in today’s market and ensuring their voices are heard on both local and national levels.
Current Industry Focus Areas
The event will address topics relevant to mortgage broker business operations, including understanding Third-Party Origination (TPO) channel dynamics, consumer financial protection developments, loan originator compensation structures, and expanding services to diverse communities. Discussions will also cover state-level topics such as veteran services, down payment assistance programs, regional market conditions, technological innovations, regulatory compliance updates, risk management strategies, consumer outreach, market trend analysis, sustainable lending practices, and enhancing client relationships.
