Join us April 3rd for the 45th Annual Wisconsin Mortgage Bankers Association Real Estate & Finance Conference at the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva, WI.

Don’t get passed by! This year we will have Nationally renowned speakers that are going to help you really “Make Your Mark” in the industry!

Our three speakers include:
Sam Glenn who will be kicking things off with motivational expertise to change your outlook and keep your attitude focused and positive and navigate negativity to be the most productive self you can be.  Then we will learn some new marketing approaches that will help you reach the different age groups and diversity for new communities from Sarah Vita,  social media expert and Digital Strategist. On top of that, Chip Lutz a seasoned leader, will have pointers from someone who has seen it all. “If you want others to follow….GO FIRST!” – Chip Lutz 

Also, NEW this year, we have our Private Vendor Showcase that will allow you to prearrange one-on-one appointments with company service vendors for private question/answer time.

The end of the day into evening will be the opportunity for networking, brainstorming from ideas learned with peers and a FUN fundraiser, where we can all support a silent auction to benefit our Education Foundation and enjoy a Casino night to raise money for the MBA Opens Doors Foundation.

Don’t miss your chance to “Make Your Mark” and together we can “Make a Mark” in the lives of our clients and others in need.
