CMLA is the Voice of the Mortgage Industry in Colorado

Promoting the Industry

State Capitol Representation

CMLA is proactive in promoting the interests of the mortgage industrybefore the Colorado legislature. Our advocacy efforts include:

  •  Retaining a professional lobbyistat the Colorado State Capitol.
  •   Serving as the primary resource for state legislators on issues and legislation related to the mortgage lending industry. 

Advocacy Committee 

The Advocacy Committee meets regularly when Congress is in session to monitor and evaluate legislative and  regulatory developments.

The committee:
  • We routinely comment on legislative and regulatory proposals to state and federal agencies
  • Reviews proposed legislation and regulatory changes.
  • Submits formal comments onto state and federal agencies.


CMLA is also an active member of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and participates in the MBA National Policy Conference to engage directly with Colorado’s congressional Delegation in Washington, D.C.
