Notice of MBA Annual Meeting
Continuing with recent practice, the Mortgage Bankers Association will once again elect its Officers and Directors electronically. All Regular Members will receive an email ballot in early October for approval of the FY2017 slate of Officers and At-Large Directors.
Authorized representatives of Regular Members on the books of MBA as of October 1, 2016 will receive ballots shortly thereafter. Under MBA’s bylaws, 2-½% of the Regular Members are required to vote for the election to be effective. So–votes matter!
The ballot will be open for one week. It will be accessible on mobile devices. The email containing the ballot link will contain a randomly generated password for access to the ballot.
