In this episode of The NAMB Podcast, hosts Ginger Bell and Matt Shields sit down with Mike Farrell, NAMB President-Elect, to talk about an exciting movement happening across the country—bringing state mortgage associations back to life.

NAMB is actively working to rebuild and strengthen state-level associations, creating more opportunities for mortgage professionals to connect, grow, and have a stronger voice in their local markets.

Mike shares how this effort is all about you—the loan originator. Whether you're a broker or a banker, if you originate loans, you belong in NAMB and in your state association. There are no barriers—just opportunity.

The best part? It all starts with one simple step. One call. One conversation. That’s how you can help bring NAMB back to your state and be part of something bigger.

Ginger, Matt, and Mike break down why local engagement matters now more than ever and how rebuilding these state communities can create stronger networks, better advocacy, and more growth for everyone involved.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
🏛️ Why NAMB is rebuilding state associations across the country
🌐 How local communities create stronger mortgage professionals
📞 How one call can help bring NAMB to your state
🤝 Why both brokers and bankers are encouraged to get involved
📈 How state-level engagement can grow your business

This episode is a must-listen for mortgage brokers, loan officers, bankers, wholesalers, and vendors who want to get involved locally, expand their network, and be part of rebuilding the mortgage community in their state.
