Forums

Forum Details

There are two distinct Forum groups with a primary focus.

  • Operations+ offers the opportunity to explore the latest trends in business activities including but not limited to marketing, business development, communications and public relations, leadership, talent management, technology, and industry economics. 
  • Originations+ offers the opportunity to explore in-depth trends, research, and information-sharing with other industry professionals on topics that cover the entire lifecycle of the loan origination process. 

Each Ask to Answer Forum will meet at least three times per year.

  • An in-person meeting will be held in coordination with the NAF Association annual conference.
  • Two other meetings may be held virtually or in person. 

Each meeting will be approximately one hour in length. 

  • First half is dedicated to education with a speaker(s) on a hot topic.
  • Second half is dedicated to open dialogue, networking, and best practices sharing among participants. 

Each Forum has an advisory committee dedicated to making relevant and interesting speaker and topic recommendations.
