Political Action Committee

Donate to the PAC

The New York Mortgage Bankers Association is continuing to build its relationships with
elected officials to create a favorable lending environment in which members of the NYMBA
can achieve their desired level of professional success. Each year, through our Association
and its lobbying efforts, the NYMBA monitors hundreds of proposed policies that would impact our industry, weighs in on Proposed Legislation through memos in support/opposition, hosts an annual Advocacy Conference in Albany, attends one-on-one meetings with elected officials,
and delivers testimony at public hearings on behalf of our members.


The NYMBA must educate lawmakers on the impacts of their proposals and work toward
solutions to challenges in our industry with policies that are favorable to our business. In order
to achieve these goals, we need your support.
