LAS VEGAS — Nearly 400 executives from credit unions, CUSOs and housing finance firms are at the American Credit Union Mortgage Association's annual conference at the Wynn Encore resort in Las Vegas this year.

The gathering kicked off Sept. 14 and runs through Wednesday.

This year's attendee figures were about double the number of attendees the organization saw at annual meetings four or five years ago, according to ACUMA President Bob Dorsa.

A record number of credit unions have sent executives to the conference, now in its 18th year, he added.

"I think this shows the numbers of credit unions that have woken up to the role mortgage lending can play in their service to members and that it helps to share knowledge and expertise from other credit unions who also offer mortgage loans," Dorsa said.

ACUMA's meeting has focused on addressing complex regulations, the future of the government's role in housing finance and leveraging relationships with the broader real estate industry to make credit unions a primary option for mortgage loans, according to the association.
