The Community Home Lenders Association (CHLA) has announced plans for its second annual Fall Conference to be held September 8-9, in Washington, DC at the Liaison Hotel on Capitol Hill. The conference will once again feature attendance by key federal policy makers that affect the future of the mortgage banking industry and housing finance reform. The Conference also includes a Lobby Day with key members of Congress. “CHLA has taken the lead on important issues affecting independent non-bank mortgage bankers, including being the first national trade association to call on FHA to reduce annual premiums and calling for bank mortgage originators to have testing and training requirements commensurate with those that apply to non-bank mortgage lenders.”
