• Loan Servicing Committee   Works closely with the Legislative Committee to understand proposed legislation that impacts Loan Servicing of current and delinquent loans in New York.

  Foreclosure Court Task Force Work on collecting data and researching the root cause of issues leading to the foreclosure court backlogs as well as other issues impacting the lengthy timelines in NYS.  The group would then work to identify feasible solutions to address these causes and work closely with the Legislative Committee to identify appropriate next steps.
  Collaboration with Local MBA’s and “Boots on the Ground” Promote relationships with regional MBA’s as well as local stakeholders i.e. task forces, land banks etc. Communicate NY MBA efforts and best practices as well as identifying local issues related to vacant and abandoned properties and mortgaged properties in NYS.
