Description

The NMLA Marine Lending Workshop is an all-inclusive study of the various elements of recreational boat financing and is presented by expert marine lenders, collectors, asset managers, maritime attorneys, marine insurance specialists and industry consultants. Each attendee will receive numerous educational hand-outs as well as a 200-page comprehensive “Marine Lending Manual”, the only one of its kind.

NMLA’s goal is to prepare all involved in this unique segment of our industry to recognize the potentials as well as the “red flags” of this niche product.  With enrollment strictly limited, the atmosphere is one of ongoing interaction between instructors and attendees, and discussions unique to a specific enterprise or marketplace are encouraged.
