Nebraska Mortgage Association Announces Champions Circle Winners

Two of Northwest Bank Mortgage Loan Originators were recently recognized by the Nebraska Mortgage Association (NMA) as qualifying members of the organization’s Champions Circle.  The award winners were honored at the NMA’s Fall Conference held September 17 via webinar this year, due to Covid-19.
