We’re writing this note as we sit in attendance at the first National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA) road show of 2009 in Boston.  As a regular reader we know you’re probably thinking, “that was March 18-19, and you’re just writing this for the March issue!”  We’re running a bit late this month, so we apologize for the delay.

That being said, every time we attend a reverse mortgage conference, we’re reminded of the many reasons why we decided to be a part of this industry and the same reasons we used to justify the launch of this magazine.  However, the one underlying theme we see time and time again is the dedication and passion innate within all the professionals who have chosen to service the senior community.  It’s refreshing to be a part of something so rewarding, to help a community that can really use our assistance, and to reach out beyond a seniors’ financial needs and build lifelong relationships with our clients.  There aren’t too many other professions which are as rewarding as this one where you can honestly say that you touch someone’s life and genuinely improve it.

With that in mind, it’s very easy to forget about all the great things we are doing as we read daily news stories or hear about great economic and housing meltdowns.  We should all be thankful that we are a part of such a wonderful and positive industry in which we have all dedicated our lives to helping other people.  Our positive energies will reflect in our work and help change the environment around us.  If you have the opportunity to make it to any of the upcoming NRMLA conferences in Chicago, Orlando, or San Diego, we would definitely encourage the effort to come visit us and meet other industry leaders who live their lives with the same passion that you do.

Thanks for reading and enjoy!
