MBAF has a Future Leaders Program that offers comprehensive leadership training to junior real estate associates with at least three years of experience. To prepare the next generation of real estate-industry leaders, the MBAF training program consists of four parts: a legislative day, a conference, a state convention, and college coursework.
The legislative day gives participants a window into how lawmakers affect the mortgage industry. The conference offers them the opportunity to join the planning committee of a major event as well as learn from the speakers. Networking with peers and deepening industry knowledge in a collaborative atmosphere is the aim of the annual state convention. Lastly, participants take two college-level business courses to solidify their learning and leadership experience.
