The 2008 regional conference will be hosted by Oregon and held at Sunriver Resort, Bend, Oregon, July 27-30 .  Visit the conference website at www.pnmlc.com for more information.

Every third year Washington sponsors a regional conference (revolving with Oregon and Idaho Mortgage Bankers Associations). The conference is attended by leaders in mortgage lending from eighteen Western states and has gained the reputation as one of the best regional conferences in the country, and is therefore also drawing a national attendance.

Since the beginning, its goals have remained the same: to provide an intimate forum for the mortgage banking community to share its concerns and ideas; to attract a variety of participants which might otherwise not be available to the individual state associations; to provide a quality social and educational experience; to encourage the free exchange of ideas by holding the conference in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.
