PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear NMLA members and industry associates.
We recognize that the measures taken on the state and local levels in an attempt to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus have had a huge impact on our industry as well as your personal and business lives. “Social distancing” has become the new norm.
In light of all of the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, we have made the extremely difficult but necessary decision to cancel the NMLA 2020 Annual Lenders Conference scheduled for August 30-Sept 1, 2020 at the Grand Summit Resort in Park City, Utah. We apologize to our members and guests who were looking forward to this year's event and visiting this beautiful part of the country and remain hopeful we can have a future conference in Park City, perhaps as early as 2022. On a bright note, our contract for the 2021 NMLA Annual Conference has been in place for over a year and we’re all set for a return visit to the King & Prince Beach and Golf Resort in St. Simons, GA, September 19-21, 2021. We hope you will SAVE THE DATES on your calendars right now.
Please know that NMLA’s Annapolis Headquarters remains open and your Board of Directors and staff will be working on your behalf every day during these challenging times. In addition to keeping you informed of important industry and member information via email, the website, and our newsletter, we promise to continue our quarterly Snapshot survey and still plan to have the 2020 NMLA Annual Statistical Report ready for distribution and sale this summer. If there is anything we can do to assist you or your team, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email at info@marinelenders.org or call (410) 980-1401.For now, let’s all join together and do everything we can to keep our families, friends, co-workers, neighbors and communities safe. We’re all in this together, even if we can’t be together.
John Haymond, President

ABOUT US
Welcome to the National Marine Lenders Association
The National Marine Lenders Association (NMLA) was formed in 1979 by founding directors Bill Otto, Jackie Forese, and the late Don Mattocks. It was created, and continues today, to educate current and prospective lenders in marine financing procedures, promote the extension of credit to consumer and trade borrowers, maintain alliances with industry partners, measure and report on the vitality of the marine lending market, and actively maintain networking and communication benefits for its members.
The National Marine Lenders Association is made up of banks, loan origination companies (service companies), finance companies, credit unions and other industry professionals.
