Our Mission…… Delivering
Value to Our Members……
I
am truly proud and honored to be in the position of President of the
Mortgage Bankers Association of Jacksonville. It is my hope that I can by
continue to build on our previous successes and continue to “deliver
value to our members”…..our mantra for this fiscal year.
I have outlined several lofty goals for the 2007-2008 year. I am blessed
with a very talented group of people on the Board who are as passionate as
I am about executing these goals.
First, we will continue to offer our members quality events by providing
diverse topics and dynamic speakers at our luncheons. We plan to deliver
even more value to our members by expanding our events from 5 per year to
8 per year as well as offering 4 educational seminars. The educational
“lunch and learn” seminars will be free to our members. Offering education opportunities to our
members will help support their continued growth, as well as keep them
informed of regulatory changes that will affect our business.
Second, we have several important upcoming elections and it is imperative
that our group focus to raise funds to support the Mortgage Political
Action Committee (MPAC). We plan to form an MPAC Committee that will
coordinate multiple fundraising events throughout the year as well as
continue to educate our members on the importance and value MPAC.
In
addition to raising funds for MPAC, I’m most pleased and proud that the
Mortgage Bankers Association of Jacksonville was in a position to give
back to the Jacksonville community by supporting Daniel, Inc, our charity
of choice, with a cash donation in 2007. Our intent is to continue giving
back to our community, and it is my desire to find more ways to do so. One
initiative that we will lead this year will be to organize a canned food
and personal needs drive for families in need during this year’s
Thanksgiving holiday. We hope to make this an annual tradition for our
chapter.
Last,
but not least, our goal is to grow our membership base by 20% this year
and each subsequent year for the next 5 years. Doing so will strengthen
our treasury, allowing us the opportunity to give back to the community in
a meaningful way, while solidifying our chapter as the true flagship
chapter in the State of Florida. We will accomplish this goal by
continuing to “delivering value” to our members in a variety of ways,
some of which is described above.
I welcome your feedback on ways that we can “deliver value” to our
members and look forward to an exceptional year for the Mortgage Bankers
Association of Jacksonville!
Sincerely,
Bill
Santillo
President
Mortgage Bankers Association of Jacksonville
