Event Planning

EVENT PLANNING COMMITTEE
This committee assists in the planning of ALFN events, and providing content suggestions and reviewing session topic submissions that are received, to then present to ALFN Leadership for approval.  Members of the committee develop innovative marketing strategies to increase the recognition and industry support of ALFN's existing educational/training programs, and collaborate to determine appropriate messaging and marketing campaigns. The committee responsibilities also include assisting with servicer invitations and confirming servicer attendance at ALFN events, assisting with sponsorship solicitations and donations for any auction items (where auctions are involved), inviting other members and colleagues to attend events, and acting in an advisory capacity to ALFN Leadership when requested on any other event planning activities.  This committee also suggests topics and content for ALFN webinar presentations.  In addition, committee members will help develop additional ALFN Onsite (or Online) training programs for mortgage servicers.  The group meets quarterly and may schedule additional calls as necessary.
