Dear Members,

As we look ahead, I want to take a moment to thank you. Not just for what you do, but for the heart, hustle, and impact you bring to our industry every single day.

The strength of our association comes from the people behind it—professionals like you who work hard to turn the dream of homeownership into reality for families across Central Florida. That’s no small thing. You’re not just part of this industry, you’re shaping the future of it.

We’re in this together. Whether you’re in the office, in the field, or working behind the scenes, your dedication moves all of us forward. It’s your efforts that build trust in our profession and create lasting change in the communities we serve.

On behalf of the entire Mortgage Bankers Association of Central Florida, thank you. Thank you for showing up, staying committed, and continuing to raise the bar. Our role as an association is to back you through advocacy, education, and resources that support your growth. Whether it’s on Capitol Hill or right here at home, we’re working to ensure your voice is heard and your needs are addressed.

This year, let’s continue to lean into our collective strength. There will be challenges, but also great opportunities. Together, we can meet both with confidence and a clear sense of purpose.

It’s an honor to serve as your president for the 2025–2026 term. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I’m proud to stand alongside you as we continue to elevate our industry and expand the American Dream for more families in our region.

Here’s to a successful year, together.
