Local History :
The National Association of Professional Mortgage Women (NAPMW) is a community of professionals who engage in the mortgage/banking industry.
Men and women from all backgrounds have joined NAPMW because they want to excel at what they do. And employers who want excellence from their employees engage with NAPMW for up to date education. Both professionals and employers have found there is a place for them in NAPMW.
NAPMW is not a women’s organization. But since women make up the majority of professionals in the mortgage/banking profession, our purpose is to help them advance in business, personal and leadership development. We believe this is a cause everyone can stand behind. We also believe by providing the highest quality and most comprehensive education to our members – both men and women – they will be able to best serve their customers and succeed in their careers.
The Tucson Association of NAPMW was formed in 1980. If you believe in helping to elevate the educational standards in this industry, or assisting in developing the most competent industry workforce, then you believe in NAPMW. If you want to find a place where education, networking and life-changing results occur, then NAPMW is the place for you.
National History :
On February 12, 1964, nine women with 161
years of combined experience in various fields of
mortgage banking met in Seattle, Washington to consider
the need for an organization to promote women in the
mortgage lending professions. On April 22, 1964, the
first association, to be known as the Seattle
Association of Professional Mortgage Women, was
officially formed. Other areas began to show interest in
a similar organization. In February of 1967, the
National Association of Professional Mortgage Women was
chartered for the purpose of organizing Local
Associations throughout the United States. Today, the
Association is composed of approximately 4,000 members
in over 80 Local Associations.
The charter members were interested
in forming an Association that was committed to several
important purposes.
NAPMW’s Purpose:
- To promote and foster
educational opportunities for its members
- To maintain the high standards of the
profession
- To work for equal recognition and
opportunities for women & men
- To bring together its members for the
exchange of experiences, ideas, and interests in all
phases of mortgage banking on the Local, Region and
National levels.
- To encourage both women and men
to choose the mortgage banking profession as a
career
DON’T
BE AFRAID TO FAIL
You’ve failed many times,
although you might not remember.
You fell down the first time you tried to walk.
You almost drowned the first time you tried to
swim,
didn’t you?
Did you hit the ball the first time you swung a
bat?
Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home
runs,
also strike out a lot.
R.H. Macy failed seven time before his store in
New York
caught on.
English novelist John Creasey got 753 rejection
slips
Before he published 564 books.
Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times but he also hit
714
home runs.
Don’t worry about Failure.
Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t
even try…………..
