The National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) had a long-term affiliation with the Florida Association of Mortgage Brokers (FAMB). In order to be a member of NAMB you must be a member of the state affiliate association, which was the FAMB.

I paid my NAMB membership along with my FAMB membership when I came up for renewal. Did NAMB receive my dues?
If you paid your dues and received your new NAMB membership card, you are a member of both FLPMA and NAMB until the expiration date on your NAMB membership card. If you did not receive your new NAMB card, please email us and we will verify that your NAMB dues were received and send you a new NAMB membership card. Please contact us at info@flmpa.net.
If board member of FAMB is also a board member of the FLMPA, is that a conflict of interest?
No. FLMPA is made up of mortgage brokers and other professionals such as title company and wholesale lender representatives, loan originators, appraisers, etc. all of whome fight for small business. this is no different than the members of the Florida Association of Realtors and the Women's Council of Realtors. Multiple associations can share the same vision and same cause. Similarly, the NFMP has no issue or conflict with NAMB. There is no conflict on the federal front and there is no conflict on the state front.
NAMB, NFMP, FAMB, FLMPA – What is the net effect?
CHOICE. This whole thing revolves around one word: reciprocity. In order to be a member of NAMB, you must be a member of the state affiliate, which for the last 35 years, was FAMB. (See #2 above.) The FAMB Board of Directors wanted to remove reciprocity from the renewal of the State Affiliate Agreement and NAMB did not want to remove reciprocity. After months of trying to work it out, a compromise could not be reached.
We see the FLMPA as the workaround. NAMB now has a new state affiliate—FLMPA—whose members will belong to both the state affiliated association (FLMPA) and the national association (NAMB). FAMB now has the ability to serve its membership without the requirement of NAMB membership, which is what the FAMB Board of Directors wanted for their membership. You can be a member of FAMB/NFMP, FLMPA/NAMB, both groups, or none. The choice is yours.
