While president of the IAMB, I gained valuable experience in the political arena and gained priceless knowledge of how association initiatives must go through Springfield which requires of a President tremendous acts of compromise to be effective. |
Success as an IAMB President requires significant time during the preceding two years immersing oneself in association initiatives as issues tend to span multiple Presidents and making time to go major political functions, such as Lobby Days in D.C. and Springfield so one's face is known when the time comes to represent the IAMP as its leader. |

As a result of my activities with the IAMB has allowed me to create a network of industry professionals. I reach out to these people regularly and they have contributed to my success. Anyone wishing to be a professional in the mortgage industry must be active with our association. The election to the position of president was the height of recognition for me. |
To become President, the individual needs a strong management team or partner to watch the home fires. You must be able to separate your daily work from associations’ demands which can be required at a moments notice. You need to be active with the association to build a board that will support your goals and carry on after your term ends. |

As President I was rewarded the opportunity to bring a little bit of myself to the IAMP and build on the durable foundation that will continue to foster excellent leadership and professionalism for its members. |
You must believe in the Mission Statement of the IAMP, surround yourself with excellent professionals of the industry and commit to a facet of our organization that you love and dedicate time and talent. |

An appreciation of the passion & effort necessary to volunteer yourself for a cause greater than your company. |
Get involved in multiple committees over the time you serve on the Board. Experience the “depth” of the Association in order to better understand what the Association does, and should do, for the benefit of the Members. |

First and foremost my time on the board and as president introduced me to and allowed me to work with some outstanding people. People I am sure I would otherwise not have been fortunate enough to meet and certainly never have been able to work side by side with them. I have gained some life long friends and business acquaintances that I would never have had without this experience. One of the most important things I gained from my experience was the fact that we are all connected and most importantly must work together to insure our industry not only thrives but survives, even though we may be competitors. |
Get real involved in committees work (no matter what committee). Attend the Springfield and Washington Lobby day so you get comfortable talking to elected officials. It certainly would not hurt if you spent time with our P.R. firm to understand how the press works and if you took time to get very comfortable speaking to groups (a Dale Carnegie course would be beneficial). |

As President, I learned that your top priority has to be the preservation of our industry. Dialogue between our Legislature and Regulator is very important if our industry is to stay viable. |
Anyone wanting to become active on the IAMP board and work their way to the presidency needs to give of themselves in support of the organization through education and legislative efforts. |

During my term as President of IAMB and NAMB, I gained knowledge, friendships, and a whole lot of courage to fight the bureaucracy and it's idiosyncrasies. |
My recommendation for anyone interested in becoming President is to save all the money you can prior to your term, because during your year, it is a taxing time for your company. |

Mortgage brokerage and the IAMB were just getting off the ground when I became President. Everything was new but we did defend ourselves and grew as a result of the Mortgage Banking Act of 1987. The first Education Conference which attracted over 350 people was created during my presidency. I became active in the NAMB after my Illinois presidency and within a year was president of the NAMB with the support of the IAMB. The NAMB grew from 750 members to over 3500 during my presidency. |
The best training, is to work on the board as a director. Focus on legislative and education issues. Listen, listen and do more listening. |
