	1. Marketing, Promotions & Events-The launch of AFLN's new web site and important e-updates have increased our ability to offer even more valuable member resources, educate our industry and make available additional opportunities for growth. Our members can now access industry related resources and make individual updates with their own member profile page on the new web site. Each member company has a primary contact that is listed on their customized profile page along with other company specific information, which includes the ability to add additional contacts. All members and their employee's can receive our Monthly member only publication (The ALFN Angle), receive member email updates, member discounts and sponsorship opportunities. -AFLN developed and executed several strategic advertising campaigns with key industry publications which continue promulgating our organization and its members as the primary legal resource in the residential mortgage loan servicing industry.-AFLN has initiated several strategic advertising campaigns with key industry publications to help broaden the exposure of our Webinar opportunities.-AFLN hosted the two largest industry networking events of the year with our members support at the MBA Loan Servicing Conference & CMBA Western States Loan Servicing Conference. As in past years, these two events were among the highest attended, and allowed our members a perfectly positioned opportunity for casual networking with key industry colleagues.-ALFN's 8th Annual Leadership Conference was held in Washington D.C. This year's event set another new record with the greatest number of loan servicing companies attending to-date. This year's program also had the second largest attendance in general over any past conference AFLN has held. -AFLN held the first ALFN Legislative Day in partnership with REOMAC on July 21 in Washington D.C. This gave our organization a chance to voice our opinions to the members of congress and network with our country's leaders.-AFLN's management attended several key industry conferences, including the following with the ALFN Exhibit Booth &/or Executive Team Members, and lead several panel sessions: CMBA Western States Loan Servicing Conference, MBA National Mortgage Servicing Conference, TMBA Servicing Conference, MBA 97th Annual Convention & Expo, MBA Mortgage Operations Conference, Wingspan Attorney Summit, Distressed Servicing Conference, Source Media 4th Annual Mortgage Servicing Conference and REOMAC Spring Conference. Many new relationships have been created as a result of our attending these events. These efforts have resulted in direct sources of new business for our members. The ALFN Exhibit Booth has proved to be a great resource for our members to participate directly with executives who attend these regular industry events.

4b	(Code: ) (Expenses $ including grants of $ ) (Revenue $ )
	2. Publications -Created and distributed weekly electronic updates to our 5000 plus industry contact list, keeping them informed regarding the latest Industry Hot Topics and other ground breaking initiatives. These publications include CEO & Legal Update publications, Legislative & Regulatory Updates and others. This year AFLN dominated this space again by being the first organization to break the news regarding a number of historic events. As a result of this effort AFLN became the industry's primary legal education resource.-The CEO authored several feature articles for various industry publications. This regular and consistent media exposure has been one of the many tools AFLN has used to position ALFN as the leader in legal professional education. AFLN continues to submit monthly press releases regarding our member's accomplishments to all major industry publications such as Servicing Management, MortgageOrb, Mortgage Servicing News, National Mortgage News, American Banker, DSNews, HousingWire, MBA Newslink and The Daily.-AFLN strategically aligned with Servicing Management to publish our 2010 Membership Directory. This year our directory was direct mailed to the 64,000+ readers of Servicing Management. It appeared in the August issue and was also distributed at the CMBA Western States Loan Servicing Conference to their attendees.

4c	(Code: ) (Expenses $ including grants of $ ) (Revenue $ )
	3. Education & Training-AFLN continues to provide twice monthly webinars to assist our industry clients regarding breaking national and local legal issues. Since its inception, AFLN has hosted webinars on topics covering Litigation trends, Bankruptcy Best Practices, Foreclosure Mediation, Loss Mitigation and many others. Our webinars reach an average audience of 150-200+ attendees twice a month, with the majority of those attendees being mortgage servicers. This effort means that AFLN has in effect reached more loan servicing professionals each month than any other organization in the United States. And AFLN has reached them in a way that consistently placed good solid practical information in their hands every other week. Our regular attendees are members of the loan servicing community in-house counsel, investor groups, State and Federal Housing and rating agency executives. Based on the attendee's feedback, these broadcasts continue to be the top viewed and rated programs in the industry.-AFLN made available all of the session video recordings from the ALFN's 8th Annual Conference at no charge on our web site.-The Foreclosure Mediation Taskforce held a roundtable meeting in Dallas to review the model mediation program. -The Current Lender / Mortgage Loan Liability Suits sub-committee continued its responsibility of reporting breaking case law, new precedents and developing case trends to the mortgage banking industry. These reports will focus on regional and national issues and be disseminated vies a vie regular newsletters, webinars and regional presentations.-The Federal Consumer Lending Statutes sub-committee monitored and reported on legal developments relating to the key federal consumer protection statutes: the Truth In Lending Act, (TILA), the Real Estate Homeowners Protection Act (RESPA), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDPCA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and other federal statutes invoked by consumers in cases indirectly affecting the mortgage lending and loan servicing community, such as the Fair Housing Act (FHA), the Credit Repair Organization Act (CROA), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Our group will continue tracking legislative proposals that seek to amend or expand the reach of these statutes. AFLN will also monitor regulatory responses and interpretations of note. Our committee members will regularly survey their jurisdictions for new case law that addresses claims and defenses under these statutes. AFLN will issue a "hot topics" report monthly identifying and explaining cases that take new or novel approaches to statutory claims and, in doing so, identify important legal trends as they develop.-The State Legislative Issues sub-committee continued to monitor and report on developments in state legislative frameworks regarding industry issues. AFLN will continue to track legislative proposals that seek to change foreclosure or related regulatory frameworks. Our members will regularly survey jurisdictions for updates on state and local regulatory items of note.-Judicial Issues sub-committee was charged with creating a comprehensive listing of local rules and procedures so AFLN can help loan administration professionals navigate between the similar and dissimilar court requirements related to loan servicing, particularly in bankruptcy court. For example, our first project is to survey our entire attorney membership base and identify the universe of documents required by the courts for the filing of a proof of claim and motion for relief from the automatic stay. Our mission is to provide loan administration professionals with a comprehensive list of documents that can be referred to, even if the exact same documents are not required in each and every instance. Our goal is to create a foundation for best practice procedure and provide consistency and certainty wherever possible.
