How do you support your members when a lot of their work evaporates because of government regulations? How do you educate an entire ecosystem about your members’ work?

  • How USFN rebranded to become America’s Mortgage Banking Attorneys.

  • How USFN doesn’t just educate its members, it educates its members’ customers and government officials.
  • What banks and USFN members are doing today to keep homeowners in their homes.
  • What USFN is doing to nurture and cultivate the next generation of members and leaders.
