Future Leaders
MBAKY Future Leaders Class
This Future Leaders Program was designed to offer students unique insights into mortgage banking from the beginning of the process of marketing and pricing mortgage loans, through originating, processing, underwriting, closing, and servicing. Additional modules will cover the history of mortgage banking, how all the ‘pieces’ fit together, affordable housing, and will end up with a session on management, leadership and ethics.
This is accomplished through ten separate modules that are spread out over 3 full days if in-person, or 6 1/2 days if virtual, over three months, with graduation plus program plaques presented after the last class. There are also class projects that are related to the industry and/or the Association that are worked on and presented during the last session.
The instructors for this are all current Kentucky Mortgage Bankers members with experience and expertise in their area of training. We encourage students’ pro-active participation in this to enhance their experience, and look forward to providing them an opportunity to learn more about the industry they have chosen for a career!
Benefits of this class, beyond the valuable information received from the instructors, include networking with fellow industry professionals, and, recognition to all members of MBAKY after graduation
