SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. /Massachusetts Newswire – National News/ — The Michigan Mortgage Lenders Association (MMLA), the only Michigan-based association dedicated solely to the housing finance industry, unveiled an updated logo and brand identity for 2023. The brand refresh aligns with the organization’s new purpose and direction as the connection point, legislative voice and educational resource for Michigan’s real estate finance economy.
In 2022, the MMLA added 270 individual members, 16 corporate partner companies and three chapter partners to its membership rolls. To support its mission and members, the organization:

“Since its inception, the MMLA has connected the best of the Michigan mortgage industry and provided its members with resources to help them stay up to date on industry trends and events on both the state and national level.
